How to overcome this problem ?

I did, anyone who connects to port 2000 might be able to send a
shutdown and close the computer. I am aware that its not the best way
to achieve this but my app runs on a small network without actually
connecting to internet.

Can you give any tips to overcome the above mentioned problem.
