Opening ports 8015/8016 restricted to selected IP addresses

Hello there

I'm using a vendor-supplied application on RHEL4 that includes a built-in Tcl webserver. The webserver is working but I cannot access it from any computer other than the host workstation. I suspect that the firewall is blocking ports 8015/8016. I have two questions:

1. How do I open these ports without compromising too much security?
2. Is it possible to open these ports but restrict access to selected IP addressed only?

Thanks.

Yes that is generally possible. Which firewall are you using? Iptables?
