I assume you were to trying to bind the socket locally to a specific port number. In that case it is a problem with Windows choosing a free port. If you were trying to bind to a specific port locally, that one was already in use. Note that even after a socket is closed, the port to which it was bound can remain blocked for some time. This depends on some low level settings related to address re-use. hope this helps, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
