Error width RMAService

After 3 or 4 days I have problems width my RMAServices on Windows 2000 Servers. (newest RMAService). I cannot connect to my Remote agents.
When I stop an start the RMAServices I get the following message in the LOG (I got the same error, when I change the port to 1056).
After a server-restart - everthing will be fine; but thats not really a solution for me.

... LOG-FILE ...
[28.10.2004 22:12] RMAService Error: cannot open port #1055. Probably port in use
[28.10.2004 22:14] RMAService Error: cannot open port #1056. Probably port in use
[28.10.2004 22:14] RMAService Error: cannot open port #1055. Probably port in use

Thanks
Bernhard

I had a similar problem.
A program was using dynamic ports and used those ports for their communication.
There are 2 solution to this: (i used the first one)

1. Use another port for RMA to communicate on. Pick a high numbered port < 65545 (eg 12345 or 23456)
2. use sysinternals TcpView (google it) to check what application is using these ports, and fix that application.

TCPView available at http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/tcpview.shtml

Thanks. I deactivate a Microsoft-Service.
