tinc - May 2006 - system call 'listen' failed: under WinXP

Hello everybody,

It's my first post on this mailing list, and my english is not very 
good. I hope this is not a problem for you.

I have successfully install a lot of tind under windows XP, but a friend 
made one installation (I help with mail) and he have this error when he 
try to run tincd :

---
system call 'listen' failed: l'operation tent? n'est pas prise
en charge
pour le type d'objet r?f?renc?
---


Apparently the installation is ok. He have applied all the patch, 
desactived all firewall.

I search with google but I didn't find any solutions.

Do you know wich solution that I can use ?

Thanks


sich

Your english is quite understandable, but my French is not so good.
Could you tell me the meaning of the error message?

Really? The only two reasons for the listen() call to fail is when some
other process is already listening on the same port, or when a firewall
blocks listening on that port. You can try to let tinc listen on another
port with the Port statement in the host config file.
