Hello,

I have an application which frequently fails to start with the message:

"Could not bind socket. Address and port are already in use."

This happens (for no apparent reason) often enough that it is time for me to 
start investigating it.

When I got to my computer this morning, my Anti-Virus program (AVG) had a 
message up that said my computer needed to restart to complete the update 
process.  But I wanted to check email and a few other things before 
rebooting, so one of the first things I did was run the application, and 
BOOM, I get the error.  The application had not been running for at least a 
day, and no other server applications use the same port.  I have checked 
"netstat -a" for any indication that the port is in use, but am never able 
to find anything.  Whenever this happens, I am forced to reboot the compute 
to clear the cause (whatever it is) so I can run the application.

What the heck is going on, and is there anything I can do to fix it?  Or is 
it the operating system's fault?

I am using a recent snapshot of Indy9 with BCB6 on XP sp2.

Can anyone offer a solution or a path toward a solution?

Thank you,

- Dennis
