Is it possible to handpick few ip addresses to allow access to localhost over LAN and rejecting other incoming connections? I am running XAMPP.

OS : Windows XP

Nitpick: Localhost is 127.0.0.1 and can not be accessed from LAN or any host other than itself. – Turbo J Oct 3 '11 at 18:04

Yes.

Create .htaccess file.

Inside place...

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 192.168
allow from some.ip.address.1
allow from some.ip.address.2

This will allow from all LAN IP that start with 192.168, plus two specific additional IPs. Reject all others.
