I'm not looking to protect 127.0.0.1 (localhost) with personal firewall software - I just want to make sure that our customers' personal fireware software doesn't cause problems with our use of this address and high numbered ports (> 8000). Incidentally, the application in question is being written in Python 2.6 using the CherryPy http framework. Thanks again for your and Ed's encouragement "to think outside of the bun" and consider Python!!
