Chat Server failed to start on Windows 8.1

[logos1]

I attempted to get the chat server and client running (as per the examples).

Running on Windows 8.1 using JDK1.8 SE, the server failed with the message "Server has NOT started." as per the following code:

        server = new Server(1337, 1337);
        server.setListener(new ServerListener());
        if (server.isConnected()) {
            System.out.println("Server has started.");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Server has NOT started.");
        }

Any suggestions?

Odd as I have developed this application while working on Windows 8.1. Are you sure that your ports are open and not being used by another application or another instance of the application that you may not realize is running?
