Unable to bind to TCP socket

pissoffboi · 01-15-2008, 11:14 PM

God I'm pissed! I had my server working before, but then I needed to shut down my comp so then I did and now that I started it back up I get this gay ass error.

ERROR: Unable to bind to TCP socket.

Help!

it means the server program is already running. check taskmanager for ventsrv.exe

if you don't see vent in the list then another program is using port 3784. at a command prompt type the following:

netstat -nab

(may take a moment to display all)

look for the local ipaddres and :3784 in the local address column and it will show you what process is using the port.

ex: 192.168.0.10:3784

that means the server is already running.
ensure the server is not running, as it may be running as a service.

also check for other programs using that port.
because if one is it will not be open for others
