means you have a program already connected to the socket, so m2server cant
connect to it, check what ports your other programs are using and stop them
or change the ports your m2server uses.

If ur trying to run a server on Windows XP HomeEdition u have to end 2 Processes for it to work:-

Crtl+Alt+Del
Processes

Search For:-

Image Name - User Name - CPU - Mem Usage
svchost.exe - LOCAL SERVICE - 00 - 1,340K
svchost.exe - NETWORK SERVICE - 00 - 1,232K

End those 2 Processes and the M2Server should work.
