Port forward only from specific external IP

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support,microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web,microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

I have a Windows XP machine connected directy to the internet and a Windows
2000 Server computer on the same internal network.
I would like to create a port forwarding from the Windows XP computer to the
Windows 2000 but only from specific external IP (and block all the other
IPs).
When I do port forwading in Windows Firewall on XP to the Windows 2000
server - it works but it forwards all external IPs and not only the one I
want.

Is there a solution for this ?

Thanks

In Window Firewall, click the Exceptions tab, click the program or
service that you're forwarding, and click Edit. In the "Edit a
Service" window, click "Change scope" and specify a custom list.
