Hi,
I would like to have a windows service that other client programs on
the same machine can communicate with. All the examples I have seen
use some variety of sockets or remoting to connect with the service.
I don't have much experience with remoting. Is there any way that I
can implement this that will not require allowing access (ie opening a
port) in the windows firewall?

Thanks,
Bob
