While NONE of the other machines have this issue... just the Windows Server 2012 R2 DATACENTER machine has this issue....
I am using LAN Messenger on all my machines to bring an easy of file transfers and communications.
Though old, its still a great tool! Find it HERE
I've poked them for support and received an email from a rather surprised individual stating that the original support has withered and died as they sold the rights to the program to some other company and i looked into it and its like $99 per computer to use it now, yeah... gonna stick with Mr. Freebie here...
So i'm doing the best i can with what i got...
I've been Port Hopping on my server like a mad monkey on a hot floor, because for SOME reason beyond me... The server OS follows the LAN Messenger ports and occupies them before the program can use it...
How can i go in and tell the server to RESERVE that port for the program and not to touch it! I'm losing my patience, this has been going on for about a year now.
I've configured Windows Firewall to pretty much dedicate the usage of that port to LAN Messenger, and yet it still happens, and i can't be going all around the house to update the ports every time my server has a temper tantrum because it wants candy or IT WILL DIE!!!!!!
Thank you in advance, i'll post pictures below to show problems.
