Disable computer port
IS there any easy way using C\C++ to diable the computer ports, for example, by disabling port 80 to block internet connection. Thanks!

Re: Disable computer port
Yes, it is called "Installing a FireWall".....
Seriously, that really is the best way to approach this. Many Firewalls (including the one included with Windows have an API that allow you to configure the behaviour.
And alternative to "disabling" is to simple create a service wich exclusively attaches to the port, but does not accept or respond. This will "Block" other applications from gaining access to the port.
ps: Port 80 is the RECEIVING port for HTTP, and has no impact on outgoing HTTP requests which use a dynamic port number.
So unless the computer has IIS or equiv installed, nothing is on port 80 anyway....

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice there is.

Re: Disable computer port
There is a firewall called zonealarm, it can provide you with all features that a firewall must and unlike Windows Firewall, it allows you to disable outgoing ports as well.
