An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. Why?
c#, sockets, streaming, video
Solution
Most likely the socket is held by some process. Use `netstat -o` to find which one.
Problem
``` private void StartReceivingData(string ipAddress, int iPort) { try { if (!_bContinueReciving) { //initializeMainSocket(ipAddress, iPort); _mSocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Raw, ProtocolType.IP);//<------HERE IS RAISED THE EXCEPTION _mSocket.Bind(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse(ipAddress), iPort)); // _mSocket.Bind(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Loopback, iPort)); _mSocket.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.IP, SocketOptionName.HeaderIncluded, true); _mSocket.IOControl(IOControlCode.ReceiveAll, new byte[4] { 1, 0, 0, 0 }, new byte[4] { 0, 0, 0, 0 }); //var 1 _mSocket.BeginReceive(_buffReceivedData, 0, _buffReceivedData.Length, SocketFlags.None, new AsyncCallback(OnReceive), null); initializeLocalSocket(); } else { _bContinueReciving = false; _mSocket.Close(); } } catch (Exception exception) { Debug.WriteLine(exception); } } ``` I'm getting an error when trying to start my program: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. I don't understand why... it worked fine, and now it doesn't. I am streaming with VLC, and I want to receive the packets, do some reports, and then restream local to a player.
