Bind: Can't Assign Requested Address from Ftp.exe Using Winsock Proxy (164395)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Proxy Server 1.0
- Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0
- Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2000
This article was previously published under Q164395 SYMPTOMS
When you use Ftp.exe from either a Microsoft Windows NT Server or a
Microsoft Windows 95 client while it is configured to use the Winsock
Proxy, you may get the following error message:
Bind: Can't assign requested address.
CAUSE
This can be caused by one of the following reasons:
- The IP address of the external interface of the Proxy Server is
in the Local Address Table (LAT).
-OR- - The Proxy Server has one network interface and only one IP address.
WORKAROUND
Remove any references to external IP addresses from the LAT on the Proxy
Server.
MORE INFORMATION
If the IP address of an external interface on the Proxy Server is in the
LAT, it is considered by the proxy client to be internal. Because the
client computer does not have an interface with the same IP address as the
external IP address of the Proxy Server, you get the above error message.
