That Means That Some Other Program Is Possibly Using Port 9000 Or 9001. Have You Forewarded Those Ports Yet?

1- you have been changing things in the server config. and forgot to kill server and restart ,you now have more than 1 server running (see system tray)

2- your isp is blocking ports

3- some other software is using this port. (example -- you run soulseek and you try to broadcast on port 2234 you also get this error)

Also check that the entries in the sc_serv.conf or sc_serv.ini files match this:

DestIP=ANY
SrcIP=ANY

Do not use an IP address for these entries. These settings are only for people who have multiple IP addresses on the same machine. Most normal users do not.
