Problem starting the Photon Server
Options
When i start the server i get the following error:
(The stars represent real numbers, but I masked then 'cause they're my real ip)
Now i understand this much:
The problem is happening at these lines:
So does anyone know how to fix this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

did you start the server two times, or did you configure multiple UDP listeners with same IP or with 0.0.0.0 ?
please post your PhotonServer.config.0 -
Here's the config, thanks for helping.

it looks as if you have the **.***.**.213 IP twice in your system.
Did you manually configure the same IP on two network cards?
Or does your machine have two network cards where each network card is connected to a different subnet and each got the same IP assigned?0 -
Well, my server computer only got one network card and one ip (that i know of). But i got one other computer connected to the same router. is that computer interfering by any chance?0
-
no.. other computers don't cause a problem.
When configuring IP 0.0.0.0 Photon iterates through all network cards and all their IPs.
For some reason it found this IP twice, don't know why.
To work around try setting your IP instead of 0.0.0.0 in the config file.0 -
I know that i can put my ip there. Problem is that I got a dynamic ip. And I don't wanna set my ip each time it changes.
But nvm that, I've found a way to work around that using services from http://http://www.dyndns.com/
Thanks for your help.0
