Bind to "loopback only" (127.0.0.1) possible?

Hello all,

I'd like to know if it is possible to bind a TCP server socket to the
"loopback"
address (127.0.0.1) only.

The reason:

I'd like to deploy an (Intraweb) web server applet that runs from CD and
starts the user's web browser, and I don't want any firewall issues
(the user may not have administrator rights anyway).
