Cannot bind to some ports due to permission denied

Question

For the last 3 months or so I\'m having random errors where I can\'t bind a specific port where our Identity server is running on my local development workstation. At first

Answer 1

When I looked for it, the explanation was

An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. An example is using a broadcast address for sendto without broadcast permission being set using setsockopt(SO_BROADCAST).

Another possible reason for the WSAEACCES error is that when the bind function is called (on Windows NT 4.0 with SP4 and later), another application, service, or kernel mode driver is bound to the same address with exclusive access. Such exclusive access is a new feature of Windows NT 4.0 with SP4 and later, and is implemented by using the SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE option.
