I had a similar problem but I fixed it with by doing some changes in firewall setting.

You can follow the below steps

Go to "Start" --> "Control Panel"
Click on "Windows Firewall"
Inside Windows Firewall, click on "Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall"
Now inside of Allow Programs, Click on "Change Settings" button. Once you clicked on Change Settings button, the "Allow another program..." button gets enabled.
Click on "Allow another program..." button , a new dialog box will be opened. Choose the programs or application for which you are getting the socket exception and click on "Add" button.
Click OK, and restart your machine.
Try to run your application (which has an exception) with administrative rights.

I hope this helps.

Peace,

I ran into this in a Web App on Azure when attempting to connect to Blob Storage  The problem turned out to be that I had missed deploying a connection string for the blob storage so it was still pointing at the storage emulator  There must be some retry logic built into the client because I saw about 3 attempts  The  devstorageaccount1 here is a dead giveaway     Fixed by properly setting the connection string in Azure

Most likely the socket is held by some process   Use netstat -o to find which one

IIS was the main offender for me  My IIS was running and it restrains any new socket connections from opening  The problem resolved for me by stopping IIS by running the command  quot iisreset -stop quot

I ve had this problem when trying to start a dotnet Core project using dotnet run when it tried to bind to the port   The problem was caused by having a Visual Studio 2017 instance running with the project open - I d previously started the project via VS for debugging and it appears that it was holding on to the port  even though debugging had finished and the application appeared closed   Closing the Visual Studio instance and running  dotnet run  again solved the problem

I had the same error happening when I had two different ASP net projects in two different Visual Studio instances  Closing one of them fixed the issue

Well I don t even understand the culprit of this problem  But in my case the problem is totally different  I ve tried running netstat -o or netstat -ab  both show that there is not any app currently listening on port 62434 which is the one my app tries to listen on  So it s really confusing to me   I just tried thinking of what I had made so that it stopped working  it did work before   Well then I thought of the Internet sharing I made on my Ethernet adapter with a private virtual LAN  using Hyper-v in Windows 10   I just needed to turn off the sharing and it worked just fine again   Hope this helps someone else having the same issue  And of course if someone could explain this  please add more detail in your own answer or maybe as some comment to my answer

This is the error that is returned when the Windows Firewall blocks the port  out-going   We have a strict web server so the outgoing ports are blocked by default  All I had to do was to create a rule to allow the TCP port number in wf msc

Reload Visual Studio with Administrator privileges  Windows Sockets  WinSock  will not allow you to create a SocketType RAW Socket without Local Admin  And remember that your Solution will need elevated privileges to run as expected
