Listen port

Post by dellthinker »

Hi all, i get this error when trying to launch my eggdrop.

[11:26] Couldn't listen on port '4141' on the given address. Please make sure 'my-ip' is set correctly, or try a different port.
while executing
"listen 4141 all"

So i tried to open the port on my router, and still i get this error, whats the problem?

The problem has nothing todo with your router, the error is locally on your system.
In most cases, you've set my-ip (or my-hostname) to an address other than one of the addresses on the system you run your eggdrop on. If that is not the case, however, then most likely there is another process running on your system that already listens to that speciffic port.
