Accessing Web Interface from another pc

[Lorenzo Martinelli *]

May I double check this?

If I change LISTEN=0.0.0.0 then I can display the Web Interface from any 
other PC on the same network by entering the address of the computer 
running get_iplayer?
What are the security implications?

What if I change LISTEN to the IP address of the computer I want to 
display the web interface from?
Would that make it safer?

Thanks for explaining.

Lorenzo
