67 is used by the "bootp" service. You have a few choices

1. bootp is sometime used for printing, and also used for the SP family of RS/6000 servers.

Does this help ?

ok yes im have a rs/6000 server but the problem its i have runnin a java aplication on this server and when mi clients try to conect sometimes show the error socket 67 its already in use how can disable this socket or for what reason its crashing with my aplication if my aplication always conect it to a 1433 port on a nother server and my web ages works on the port 80 what could be happend

thanks alot for your help i hope solve his problem fsatest i can because my clients are given me a headche

Put a "#" in front of the "bootps" entry in /etc/services, then do a "refresh -s inetd". Be careful though - turning off bootp may cause some problems if some program needs it.

Error: Network error in connection- errno: 67, error:the name of the socket its already in use . for fd: 111

I'm at a loss here. If bootp is not running, then port 67 should be free'd up.

:-o

I think that the 67 refers to the error number - errno - rather than to a port number Mike
