Cache TELNET error: CTELNETD startup error: bind(sock) failed Reason: WSAENOTSOCK

If you get this problem it is normally due to the Cache Telnet Daemon not being able to listen on port 23. This may be because something else is already listening on this port or some firewall or anti-virus software is blocking it in some way.


 * 1) Your Telnet port [:23] is in use by another service,
 * 2) your Telnet port is being trapped by a firewall/anti-virus, or
 * 3) something has corrupted the TCP stack.

Someone once found that WinsockxpFix.exe nailed Google Desktop as the culprit. Another person found that PGP Desktop installed a layered service provider LSP DLL in the Winsock stack which was identified by the lspfix program. Yet another reported that the utility from  fixed the issue and removed some third-party socket library.

Shutdown your firewall/anti-virus and anything else that might be blocking TCP connections. Check these pages for more info:
