In my ethernet connection I've got only one IP address, and i've tried with Static IP and with DHCP, and the error Stills.

    Ii've got two aditional network adapters active (created by vmware for virtualizations). May this be the cause of the error? I will try to set postgres to listen only at one IP, and test if error stills.

    Regards

how many IP addresses your computer? you will get your ip address via dhcp?
it sounds to me in such a way as if the postgreSQL service is no longer an
ip address can bind

    Hello everybody. In the last week i'm having a trouble with my 
PostgreSQL working on Windows XP Professional.

    When i boot, Postgresql works correctcly, but after about an hour it 
stops working, an i get timeouts when i try to connect to it.

    In the postgresql log, i get this message: 2009-03-25 10:52:57 CET 
FATAL:  could not duplicate socket 1276 for use in backend: error code
    
10022
  
    After this, if i go to Event Viewer, i get this warning: PostgreSQL 
Database Server 8.3 Service stopped.

    In task manager, i get two postgres.exe process running, the first 
one of 104 Kb, and the second about 5000 kb.

    If i try to start postgresql service again, I got these messages:
             Waiting for server startup...
             LOG loaded library "$libdir/plugins/plugin_debugger.dll"
             LOG could not bind IPv4 socket: No error
             HINT is another postmaster already running on port 5432? If 
not, wait a few seconds and retry.
             WARNING:  could not create listen socket for "*"
             FATAL:  could not create any TCP/IP sockets

    The service appears as starting, but it does not start.
    If i kill the two postgresql porcessess the one of 5000kb stops 
correctly, but i get access denied for killing the one of 104 Kb.

    If i try to start postgresql service again,  i can't, because it 
stills starting, and i can't do anithing to it.

    The only way is reboot the machine, but after about an hour, the 
same history.

    Before i detected this trouble last week, i had never got any problem

    any idea?

    King Regards
