Is another service already listening on this port? Have you tried this?: netstat -a -n | grep 81 | grep LISTEN If you can't start on 81, how about 82? Not that you should have to, but have you tried doing a listen on the particular socket? Instead of just having "Listen 81" have you tried "Listen AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD:81" to see if there is any difference? HTH, Barry
