TCP/UDP listening (2K)

[aldi]

Dear Jim L Fixit,

If one process has a TCP port open & listening, can another process then start listening on the same port for UDP traffic? or will it not work? OS is 2K SP4.

That seems to be the situation here, the UDP app isn't complaining but then again it isnt working either, just trying to pin down why...

Typically, once a socket is bound to a protocol, no one else can open it.
