According to my reading of the man page it is not possible to get this error unless I'm using jails (which I'm not). The code in question does..

you can get it from the firewall too..


memset(&sockname, 0, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in));
sockname.sin_family = AF_INET;
sockname.sin_port = htons(PORT);
sockname.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(UPNP_MCAST_ADDR);
while(known_service_types[i])
{
snprintf(bufr, sizeof(bufr),
"NOTIFY * HTTP/1.1\r\n"
"HOST:%s:%d\r\n"
...
n = sendto(s, bufr, strlen(bufr), 0,
(struct sockaddr *)&sockname, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in) );

(line 278 of miniupnpd.c).

Can someone shed light on what the problem is? The application appears to work fine even with this error though.

I am running it on a FreeBSD 6.2 system.

Thanks.
