| Sometimes MUSHclient will crash. When I restart MUSHclient I'll try to setup to receive chat calls again but can't because the previous instance of MUSHclient was receiving calls on that same port # and the crash didn't release the port.
Cannot accept calls on port 4050, code = 10048 (Address already in use)
Is there anyway to free that port in Windows XP?

| Probably MUSHclient is still in memory somewhere. I'm pretty sure that all modern OSes release any system resources held by a crashed program - including opened ports.
Take a look in your taskmanager? | top |

| In some rare instances, it takes a little bit for the OS to clean everything up. Usually it happens when the process is destroyed or a few seconds thereafter, but very occasionally I've seen it take almost a minute. That could be what the OP is seeing here.
But I'd definitely start with what Worstje suggested and make sure that it's not actually still around. |

| Thanks for the tip, MUSHclient is listed once in taskmanager, appears to be the process of MUSHclient that was created after I relaunched it. | top |
