unbind port in Windows 7 after server crash
Hi Experts,
I've tried just about everything to unbind a port - I need to restart the machine after the server fails because when I do a "netstat -ano", I see that the process ID belongs to "system" and there's no way to kill the process with the process ID given on the command line- it doesn't even exist in task manager. Does anyone know how to make this port available again without restarting?
Thanks a lot,
Mike

Well, how did you end up opening that port?
I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but you can stop a process with the below command:
That should also open the port up.
TASKKILL /F /PID processid
That should also open the port up.

Task kill did not work by the way... would work if run as admin though.
