I use VPN Safenet (or rather my client does, so I do also) which I am told
MUST have IPSEC running. The service doesn't start - giving the message ...

The IPSEC Services service terminated with the following error:
Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is
normally permitted.

As far as I know - I running nothing that would be using this port.

Background - In an attempt to resolve this problem I have just totally
reloaded my PC - XP-Professional(SP2) - So I KNOW I have nothing "funny"
running. I use MS Development Studio with SQL Server.

I'm in Cape Town - My Client is in JHB - I have been able to connect for the
last year - but last Saturday (20th November 2005) its as though my PC comes
from another planet.

I run DSL and Dial-Up - I cannot connect through either.

Any HELP !!!!

Regarding GTA (Safenet) Software

For anyone who has looked at this for me - thank you.

If you are also having this problem and are looking for answers, make sure you
'quiz' your network guys about upgrading software - from my experience, this
is
best done with the aid of a baseball bat.

My problem was software upgrades at the server end. Once my policies were
upgraded to match - the problem went away. And imagine - all this occurred
without anybody changing anything - I must speak to Microsoft about software
that
changes itself without human intervention - quite a nifty invention that.
