Alexander , thank u for ur quick reply I have used ur technique with and 
without -from , -fp  , once and they all fail with unable to bind and no 
message in the logfile . I have produced the same errors on winXP and 
W2K . same thing . Old version 4.3 and 4.4 works fine no problem . is 
there a way to get a more diagnosting log . I suspect that there is a 
module locking some file which casses this error . The same error can be 
reproduced on V 4.3 & 4.4 if use the same port :X we get the same 
message faile to bind .

thks for ur help
