Hello,

I've been trying to set up a VPN at one of my client's offices. It would not
connect so I have been using PPTP Ping to test it. The problem I get is PPTP
Ping reports error # 10048 and says wsaeaddrinuse can't bind socket.
I've set up many VPNs before and never seen this. MS has only one article
and it looks as if they are trying to tell me my program is calling an API
incorrectly. I'm not calling any APIs however, or at least not in anything
I've written, because I'm using the standard connection routines that MS
supplies.
The box is NT Server 4.0 and has all updates.

Thanks in advance.
 
The error says: "Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network
address/port) is normally permitted. "
You could have another application listening or using the same port with
which you are trying to bind to the server.

You can find the list of used ports on your machine using this command:

netstat -aon

Check if some other app is listening on the same port you are trying to use.
 
Hi and thanks.

I've tried that and also used a program called "Vision". All I get is that
it is listening on 1723 but not what is listening. I configured another PC
for them in my office and tested with PPTPPing. Same error. That made me
think of what was in common and and only VNC was. VNC should use port 5900
but I disabled it anyway. That did not work either? Hmmm?
