Huh? But that's exactly what SO_REUSEADDR is supposed to _prevent_ from happening. That's why it's called _REUSE_addr, because it lets you *re-use* an addr, without getting an error message. Why would you expect setting it to stop you from reusing the address? > why doen't bind() return an error under cygwin? Because SO_REUSEADDR works _correctly_ on cygwin, perhaps? cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
