Found a solution: set the port number to something large, e.g. 38000 instead of 
the default 3800. It seems that the firewall blocks ports with low values for 
some reason (the exact value doesn't matter), but large values are OK.

SmartFrog

Further development Re: "java.net.BindException: Address already in use" 
exception when trying to launch SmartFrog on some Windows Server and Windows 7 
machines.  The culprit turned out to be the firewall. The daemon can only run 
when firewall is disabled. We have Microsoft ISA Server firewall on our 
corporate network.

Is there some workaround for this?

Quote from our sysadmin: apparently [SmartFrog] wasn't designed with corporate 
environment in mind...

Subject: "Port already in use" exception when starting SmartFrog

Hi,

We are having a problem starting SmartFrog under some accounts. Here is the 
output that we get when running  sfDaemon from Windows command line:

==================================================================================

We get the same exception when launching SmartFrog using the test harness. We 
have checked the port and found that it is not in use at any point and that no 
SmartFrog daemon instances are running in the background. The most remarkable 
thing is that in multi-user environments the problem occurs only with certain 
accounts. When SmartFrog is launched on the same machine from the same location 
by a different user, we don't see this exception. What is also puzzling is that 
the problem emerged suddenly and for no apparent reason: we are not aware of 
any changes to the system that could have occasioned this error.

This happens with SmartFrog v. 3.18.002 running on at least three different 
machines under Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with Java SE v. 
1.6 runtime environment. The problem account has administrative privileges.

Any help would be appreciated.

Dmitry
