Error Message: Could Not Bind Socket to (ip) port (xxxx)

backstory i set up vibe streamer on my computer about 3 days ago, after configuring properly and testing (nav asked to permit the connection and i did so) it worked until today.


my info
ip type static
router no
port 8081
os windows xp pro sp2
antivirus norton antivirus 2005

what i have tried
i have tried changing ports, and disabling my norton antivirus.

no matter what i do, i still get this error message
Webserver could not be started (Could not bind socket to xx.xx.xx.xx port (8081)
'

Try going to www.whatismyip.com and see if your IP changed. Plug your IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx8081

Try that.

my ip doesn't change. i have a static ip, as i stated in my last post.

Try this

1)From Start go to Run
2)Type cmd
3)In the command prompt type netstat -ab
4)Find out what application is bound to port 8081
5)Terminate the problem application via ctrl+alt+delete or taskkill in the command prompt type taskkill /s /f /mi problemapplicationname.exe
Also try msconfig in Run and edit the problem application from startup
6)If you cannot or will not terminate/stop the problem application, then change the vibe stream server port.

Consider this some modems assign a 192.168.1.1 address to it's single client, whereas the modem acts as a gateway under 192.168.0.1 depending on the manufacturer the addresses may be a little different. Never the less understand that any address in the range
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 - is not static.

ok, i just tried that, and it looks like no application is using port 8081. i aslo tried changing the port on the vibe streamer server settings, but i still get the same error message.

ok its working now

i was 1 digit off on my ip settings in vibe streamer

thanks for the help!
