The listening socket is always bound to the local network address (how
could it be otherwise?) so I assume you mean that you only want to
listen for connections coming from a specific host. If that is
correct, you can simply accept connections from anywhere and check the
remote address of the socket after accepting it. E.g., something like:
 myAddress := #(127 0 0 1) asByteArray.
 listener := Socket newTCP.
 listener listenOn: myPort backlogSize: 4.
 serverSocket := listener waitForAcceptFor: 100.
 serverSocket remoteAddress = myAddress
  ifFalse:[serverSocket destroy].
should work.
