Hello,

Few months ago, i was hosting a server called House Drift Club, the server ran great, the people enter, drift and play (a DEMO server) but day to day, the tragedy succes , TCP Socket : bind failed (in Dedi & ingame) :weeping:

I changed the IP of the insim thousand of times and and would not work, i've re openned the ports in the router and i do 1 million of things and i can solve this problem.

I'm runing on: Windows Xp Professional - SP3
I want to re open my server :dogrun: :tired:
Who going to be the :detective ?

"TCP Socket : bind failed" look like a message from LFSDedi rather from insim, I would assume the port is blocked or something? You may want to change your insim application settings to what they were. Can people connect to your server (ask a friend), if the answer is no, I would assume it safe to say you need to foward your ports.

See: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=9572

There are some instructions about ports, visit the link above.

It's indeed blocked (by some firewall for example) or already in use. If you restart LFS or terminate it, it could take some seconds before the port which was used, actually is being released.

If all fails try to configure another port between 10000 - 60000.
