This error message indicates two main issues while trying to run Gnirehtet on Windows 10 with Android 8.1:

Error 1:

TunnelServer: Cannot accept client. Either the application has not called WSAStartup, or WSAStartup failed. (os error 10093) Meaning: This is a Windows Sockets (Winsock) issue. WSAStartup is required before using any socket functions. This error (10093) means either:

The network stack was not initialized correctly

Your system is missing key networking components

Fix: Reset Winsock: Open Command Prompt as Admin and run:

netsh winsock reset Then restart your computer.

Error 2:

Main: Cannot start client: Command adb ["shell", "dumpsys", "package", "com.genymobile.gnirehtet"] failed: The system cannot find the file specified. (os error 2) Meaning: The gnirehtet.apk is not installed on the Android phone.

Fix: Install the APK manually using ADB:

Navigate to the gnirehtet extracted folder.

Run:

adb install gnirehtet.apk Check if it’s installed:

adb shell pm list packages | grep gnirehtet If you don’t see com.genymobile.gnirehtet, it’s not installed.
