Hey there,

I'm just looking to write a program that has a server side and a client side.

The client will connect to a service or something on the server which will then access SQl server 2005 on the same server. However, with regards to security for this, if the router for the server has the port forwaded to the service specified port, how do you make it so only people authenticated to use that service will be able to access that port? General security stuff.

Does anyone know of any tutorials about server/client's with services or anything?

Thanx in advance.
