    'Fatal Error: Listen socket bind failed' - How to fix it?

    Working on getting Franklin U600 to work on 4G Wimax from Virgin Mobile.
    I finally have the driver module drxvi314.ko compiled to the kernel and working.

    Stuck at the above error message:
    Fatal Error: Listen socket bind failed.

    I read all related Linux manuals. They have lots of info designed for programmers. I am not one of them.

    My question to the experts therefore is:

    What does this error mean and how do I fix it.

    I have taken a lsof survey (lsof -i) to see open ports, etc.
    The results are posted at:

    http://pastebin.com/YLT01Yjx

    together with a few basic data that might be helpful.

    At this time I have some faint idea what to do but need some more detailed advice on how to bind and to what address.
    0.0.0.0 ?
    127.0.0.1?

    You can see there that wimax is listed as listening:

    wimaxd 27278 peter 5u IPv4 165308 0t0 TCP localhost:5200 (LISTEN)

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
    How do I set

    I hope I am not overly optimistic. But at this time it looks like the listen socket bind failure is solved.
    I used a new inet address instead of the previous 192.168.1.100.

    That restored the connection and allowed me to search for a base station.

    Hope it will last.
    Marking the thread as solved.

    But how?
    Cannot find where to mark it right now.
