Socket application under Windows XP

[terje]

I have a socket based vb.net application that has been
running fine while running under Windows 2000. However,
if I attempt to run this application under Windows XP I
get the following error information "only one usage of
each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is
normally permitted. This error occurs even though I'm not
(knowingly) connected to any IP address.

Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

Is the application creating a socket and then binding it to a specific port
? If so then maybe that port is already by something else on XP.
