Fail to Bind problem

[pkAnn]

I have been using FZ on an XP box for a few months with no problems until now. It does not try to activate the server automatically now. When I manually try to activate the server I get the following error:

FileZilla Server version 0.9.34 beta
Copyright 2001-2009 by Tim Kosse (tim.kosse@filezilla-project.org)
Connecting to server...
Connected, waiting for authentication
Logged on
Creating listen socket on port XXXXX...
Failed to bind the listen socket on port XXXXX to the following IPs: XX.XX.XXX.XXX
Failed to create a listen socket on any of the specified ports. Server is not online!
Retrieving settings, please wait...

The PC is connected to the internet just fine thru a router and satellite modem.

My XP firewall exceptions have not changed, so I don't understand what the problem is.

Anyone have an idea??

Thanks!

Start -> Run -> cmd -> netstat -anb
check which process is bound to the port (by PID)

Quick guess: Microsoft FTP service (IIS) enabled?

Boco & mhanor-

Thanks for your input.

I checked for IIS and that component is not even installed, so that can't be it.

I ran netstat -anb and the port I use to reach the FZ server is not listed anywhere.

Filezilla is mentioned in three places. XXXXX is the port I use for administration:

TCP 127.0.0.1:XXXXX 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1976
[FileZilla Server.exe]

TCP 192.168.1.101:139 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 4
[System]

TCP 127.0.0.1:1164 127.0.0.1:XXXXX ESTABLISHED 1292
[FileZilla Server Interface.exe]

TCP 127.0.0.1:XXXXX 127.0.0.1:1164 ESTABLISHED 1976
[FileZilla Server.exe]

Any other ideas?

Thanks, pk

If nothing else occupies the port, then you have a restrictive firewall or security software protecting the ports.
