Binding failed with error 10013 - Cant bind to ANY ports #532

Closed W1BTR closed 1 month ago

W1BTR commented 1 month ago

Direwolf suddenly is failing to bind to any ports.

Bind failed with error: 10013
Some other application is probably already using port 8000.
Try using a different port number with AGWPORT in the configuration file.

Try using a different port number with KISSPORT in the configuration file.

I was able to verify that no programs are using these ports. I also tried setting it to a variety of other ports I know are available, and they all fail with error 10013.

Hmmm.. we need more details here before we can help. It looks like you're running Windows but WHICH version? Which version of Direwolf? Googling around a bit, it could be security software installed on your machine that's blocking Direwolf from opening the socket ( https://forum.beammp.com/t/core-bind-failed-with-error-10013/102578 ).

Interesting. I tried the netstat command as shown and it behaves as expected. I have Windows 10 here, 11 might be fussier. I don't have any good ideas other than what David suggested. Can you try running with admin privilege?

It is Windows 11, and I tried running as admin, no change. Restarting didnt fix it. However, a Windows update did fix it, so maybe Microsoft broke it temporarily with an update?

Either way, cant seem to get it to break now.
