Hello,

I'm working to create a server socket for a program, and I'm using "accept connections" to open server ports. The problem is that function open a port even if it is already busy!
How can I check if a port is busy or available?

Thank you for your help!

Hi ale870,

you could check "the opensockets()" before.

Thank you, but that function works only to check which ports are open from RunRev self. If my browser web open some ports, I cannot check them.
Now I'm using the command (command line in Windows): netstat -an|find /i ":1027" where "1027" is the port I want to check, but I wanted to avoid to use command line.
