Describe the bug

Hi,

since today I get this error when I try to start a open-ai server. [Errno 13] error while attempting to bind on address ('127.0.0.1', 5000):

Found out that ist svchost.exe, iphlpsvc. I can kill it and the server starts witout error, but than I get a "500" errer when I try to connect.

Best, Metzo

Is there an existing issue for this?

The default port may be reserved by Windows, especially if you run Hyper-V related stuff, for example WSL VMs or Docker for Windows. Run Command Prompt as Administrator, and run netsh interface ipv4 show excludedportrange protocol=tcp to check if Windows has reserved the port you want to use. In my case you can see port 5000 is reserved by Windows(specifically, winnat service). The easiest way to solve the problem without restarting your PC is simply restart winnat service. Run net stop winnat and net start winnat as Administrator.
