Question : bind_socket fails

Hi everyone,

I'm using Remote Administrator 2.1 to access a server remotely.  Since yesterday, I have not been able to access the server.  I receive the following error

"Connection I/O error, connection may be closed due to IP Filter settings on the remote side"

I checked the logfile, and it says "bind_socket fails".

I don't exactly know how this is related, but yesterday the remote server got infected with a Trojan Horse (SUB0T.dll) via some IRC connection.

We removed the virus and reinstalled RAdmin, but I still get the same error.  Can anyone advice us on this issue?  This is a very pressing matter for us, and anyone's help would be so greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Answer : bind_socket fails

It looks like you are not removed the Trojan succesfully, while some components still using the same port like your RA . So some components are still active.
Get CurrPorts from  http://nirsoft.mirrorz.com and take a look what programs are in listen. Remove them from the active tasks or rescan more accurate your system !
Good luck !
