Can't run multiple instances of the same echo-server

Hello All,

I've written a TCP/IP echo server, and I'm trying to run multiple
instances of it together, but using different port numbers, but I keep
getting
"bind: address already in use"
is this a normal behavior or something is wrong,

Thanks in advance,

Hi

[1] and [2] are almost certainly at odds. Unless you have something else
listening on certain ports, causing [2].

Try a "netstat -apl" first to make sure all the required ports are free,
then check your code.

Cheers

Some other process is already listening on your port.
