[RADIATOR] "Could not bind" errors

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Stewart -

This is usually caused by another RADIUS server running on those port numbers - possibly the Windows RADIUS server.

You will need to either stop the other RADIUS server, or configure Radiator to use different port numbers.

regards

Hugh
