TCP/IP bind on port portnumber failed during initialization (ERRNO=errno).

Explanation

The TCP/IP bind call failed during initialization with errno:
9
Socket is already bound to another address
48
Specified port is already in use (637 is the LANRES port number).
49
Specified port is not available (637 is the LANRES port number).

System action

This message may be displayed with message EWXCOM5504E. TCP/IP connections are not initialized, but EWXCOMM tries to initialize the other connectivities. If any of the other connectivities successfully initialize, EWXCOMM continues. Otherwise, EWXCOMM unloads.

System programmer response

If TCP/IP connectivity is necessary, unload EWXCOMM. Check \ETC\SERVICES to ensure no other application is using the LANRES well known port number, 637. If another application is using the port number, change the port number for LANRES or the other application, and make the corresponding changes on the host.

If LANRES is the only application using the port, then it is possible that TCP/IP has not cleaned up the socket. Wait five minutes and reload EWXCOMM. This will give TCP/IP a chance to clean up the socket. If this still does not work, unload the TCPIP.NLM and then restart TCP/IP.

User response

None.
