ErrorCode = 10048

[Drstein99]

I'm new to programming with tcp/ip and socket connections

I'm trying to connect to another computer and it returns "10048" as a socket acception when i do tcplistener.start


-----

I can trap the error on the start of the client computer.... but how do i resolve this issue? is the port stuck open on my "host" computer or something?

what port are you trying to listen on? The error generally indicates something else is already using that port.

I'm writing a test chat application. Thing is, i can start and stop the application fine. when I try to re/start i get the error.

port 3325

If you open a command prompt and type netstat -n -b does it list anything as listening on port 3325?

Under "state" it asys "close_wait"

Under "state" it asys "close_wait"

when i issue:

TcpListener.Stop()

i want to simply stop listening for messages. its when i re/issue the TcpListener.Start() is when the problem occurs.
