[AG-TECH] BridgeServer trouble

[Derek Piper]

	Hi,

	Since you have working Bridge Server configs, I do want to ask this; Is 
is possible to run the bridge on the same machine that is hosting the 
venue server?
	With this config:

[https://iri-av.informatics.indiana.edu:8000/VenueServer]
type = VenueServer
portMin=50096
portMax=50099


	I get this, and the ports are not in use before I started:

max_unicast_mem is 32
myhostname=iri-av
myhostipaddress=156.56.94.158

using multicast
ucport[data]=59784  ucport[rtcp]=59785
mcport[data]=51442  mcport[rtcp]=51443
making multicast port[0]
can't bind mcaddr to socket!: Address already in use
max_unicast_mem is 32
myhostname=iri-av
myhostipaddress=156.56.94.158

mcport[data]=58994  mcport[rtcp]=58995
making multicast port[0]
can't bind mcaddr to socket!: Address already in use
Shutting down...
SignalHandler exiting.

	I can bridge other venues on this machine, and can bridge the 
venueserver above using another machine. What I'd like is to do it all 
on one machine.
	Any hints would be appreciated.

	Thanks,

	Derek
