How do i only allow the IPs on my list connect to me ( Skype uses port 2684 alt. port 80 )

so, how can a generic low level firewall distribution only allow IP's based an obscure setting within a remote high level non-gpl client application? I can't think of a good reason why that should be even possible. the two are so totally unrelated besides them being on a network... you obviously can block by I Pon ipcop, but you'd need to add them manually or somehow export the skype list to something ipcop can read... i can't see that realy happening, but it may be possible.

i have a small list of friends in skype . .i know them all .. also thier IP numbers .. i just wanna know howto:

Allow this ip to this ip and skype port
Allow this ip to this ip and skype port
Allow this ip to this ip and skype port
etc.

Block the rest to ip and skype port

but i am lost in the IP Cop web interface and dont know where to go / do

Manual edit ?

well everything is blocked by default, you just need to add them on to the access list. i really can't see how that's hard in ipcop, the interface is pretty small. you just need to firstly open the access, and then port forward that port to your machine.
