TCP Filter Admin
TCP Filter Admin software provides a type of “firewall” security for your AppleShare IP server.
Conventional firewalls require expensive, complicated hardware devices, but TCP Filter
Admin is software-based, easy to set up, and part of your AppleShare IP software. You must
use this software on the server.
With the TCP Filter Admin software, you can restrict access to any TCP service ( Web, file,
mail, or print services) by blocking ranges of incoming IP addresses from accessing specific
port numbers. For example, you can block a range of IP addresses from accessing your Web
server or sending “spam” (bulk or junk mail) to your mail server. For more information, see
TCP Filtering in AppleShare IP Help.
You can also use TCP Filter Admin with other TCP/IP-based applications on your AppleShare
IP server if you know their port numbers. TCP Filter Admin does not block AppleTalk
connections or incoming IP connections that don’t actually make a connection, such as
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) pings.
Opening TCP Filter Admin
To open TCP Filter Admin, do this:
1 Open the Apple menu and choose AppleShare IP Admin, then choose TCP Filter Admin from
