Port usage issue with IIS

[computerhighguy]

I am having a port using issue with IIS. I am not a stranger to IIS but this one has me stumped. I have two server applications on my webserver (Flash Media Server and IIS) and IIS is stomping all over the flash media server. I cannot figure out why.


IIS:
IIS has 2 websites on it. Both are listening on port 80 of IP address x.x.x.108. The flash media server is listening on ports 1935, 443 and 80 on IP address x.x.x.106. I have verified that both my IIS websites are set to use the .108 IP address and not any available. Here is what happens.

Troubleshooting:
Case 1: When IIS starts, I can do a netstat -an and see the following.

TCP 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 4 <- PID 4 = System

So naturally IIS is listening on all addresses instead of the designated IP address I specified in IIS.

Case 2: When I start flash media server without IIS and do a netstat -an, I see it listening on port 80 on the IP address it is supposed to.


TCP x.x.x.106:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 3164 <- PID 3164 = Flash Server

So how do I make IIS only bind to the IPs I specified in the IIS manager?


It is what it is!!

I figured it out. I guess I can chalk this one up to experience. Anyway, I needed to disable socket pooling. Here is how you do it.

cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/disablesocketpooling true

The KB article for it is here.
