winsock help

[zer0_flaw]

Alright, I want to create a program that will watch every port on the computer. I could do this with winsock but each winsock control can only watch one port... that would make me use way to many controls. Is there any API code that will let me watch a port and tell me when a connection is made to it? Or is there an easier way then 1 million winsock controls? Thanks in advance for help. Later,

1 million is a bit over the top! the exact number would be 65535!
u could do it this way! load one winsock control onto a form. name it winsock and set its index property to 0.

then type this


Private Sub Form_Load()
on error resume next
for a = 0 to 65534
load winsock(a)
winsock(a).close
winsock(a).localport = a+1
winsock(a).listen
next a
end sub


Private Sub Winsock_ConnectionRequest(Index As Integer, ByVal requestID As Long)
msgbox "Connection attempt on port " & winsock(index).localport,vbinformation
End Sub


hope this solves the problem
