Ever since I moved a couple days ago to my new place, everytime I start flashfxp i get: "Ident Server: Unable to listen on port 113". Normally thats when the port is in use but I checked it with tcpview as well as telnetting localhost on 113, nothing's listening. Just for kicks I tried changing FlashFXP ident listening port to something random, like 118, and it reports the same error (obviously with a new port number).

mIRC listens perfectly for identd. Although it isn't an issue, this is a local error, the identd port is forwarded correctly on the gateway. I am a system technician and my computer is very clean with no junk on it. Hijackthis is clean, etc. I tried FlashFXP in safe mode, I get the same error. I tried unplugging it from the network and restarting, same error. I tried reinstalling it and using a different version, same error. I tried some netsh winsock reset commands and ip reset commands, nothing seems to work.

I am pretty much baffled by this. I've checked the other threads and it seems others have had this problem, but with no fix? I do not wish to run a standalone identd server.

Thanks,
