boss10000 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I have been using my laptop for the last few week and have now set up my own server but it says that the server port is used (or reserved) and carnt be used, its 25565, so i tried different port such as 25566 etc, but these dont work. So does anyone know how i can unlink that port from my laptop so that my PC can host on it instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebird Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 If you are on Windows, you can enter the following into an elevated command prompt: netstat -ano | find "25565" This will give you a list of any connections on port 25565. There will be some numbers on the right (sometimes they drop down a line), they are the Process ID numbers of the process that is listening on that port. You can then look for this number in taskmanager to find the process and kill it. Alternatively, you can run netstat -abn | more at an elevated command prompt and look through the list to find the process. You are looking for something similar to: 127.0.0.1:25565 and the process name should be listed on the line below it. If you are running Linux then enter netstat -npa | grep 25565 to find any process that is using port 25565. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axle Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 If it says 'Cannot bind port' Go into server properties and delete both the IP and the Port in the file... Though usually that error only happens when you try to load a server twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
