I was talking to Kry at #amule and he said it would be useful to post this. I'm not an expert in wxWhatever at all and this is what I found while Googling for 5 minutes, so I don't consider it accurate at all. Anyway:

The class wxSocketServer lets you specify the binding address:
http://www.wxwidgets.org/manuals/2.6.1/wx_wxsocketserver.html [^]

It uses a wxSockAddress which has a derivate class wxIPaddress which has a derivate class wxIPV4address that lets you specify the hostname:

You mean the EC port or any aMule port?

Ok, I just added support for opening EC and aMule ports just on selected ips.

Please test it (I did some tests, but I'd like you to try):

Open a new CVS aMule (from 14/08/2005)

Close it

open ~/.aMule/amule.conf
There are 2 lines: Address= and ECAddress=. Put there the ips (i.e. for your problem just set ECAddress=127.0.0.1)

Try connecting to EC from localhost and from outside.

And please report the results. :)

Thanks, I'll do some tests when I come back to my workplace and post the results. :)

P.S: Notice this is only for listening connections. Outgoing connections must be routed properly.

This is not a problem on EC, but it is on aMule, where we do connect to remote instead of beign connected.

Er... sorry for my bad explanation. I was referring exclusively to the EC address:port pair, eventhough I suppose being able to specify the address in other listening ports and connections would be eventually useful. I'm now rereading everything I wrote and realizing the confusion I created, sorry.

Well, Kry, a big big thanks (and $10!) for implementing it. It seems to work alright for me. I'm anticipating the next stable release.

Good to know.

Are you still around? If you are, mind I changed the position of the item on amule.conf, so it's reset, but I added a new item on gui to set it. Make sure you set it back (by, i.e., closing amule, updating, running it again, closing it, and editing amule.conf)
