Event Message:
DNS server could not open socket for address address. Verify that this is a valid IP address on this machine. If it is NOT valid use the Interfaces dialog under Server Properties in the DNS Manager to remove it from the list of IP interfaces. Then stop and restart the DNS server. (If this was the only IP interface on this machine and the DNS server may not have started as a result of this error. In that case remove the DNS\\Parmeters\\ ListenAddress value in the services section of the registry and restart.) If this is a valid IP address for this machine, make sure that no other application (for example another DNS server) is running that would attempt to use the DNS port.

Explanation:
This error can occur if there is a mismatch between the configured IP addresses in the Advanced IP Addressing dialog box and those listed in the Server Properties dialog box for the DNS server. This problem can also occur if the TCP/IP protocol is not bound to the network adapter.
User Action:
Verify that the TCP/IP addresses configured in the Advanced IP Addressing dialog box match those configured in the Server Properties dialog box in DNS Manager: 1. Open Control Panel, and double-click Network. 2. Click the Protocols tab, and click TCP/IP Protocol in the Network Protocols list. 3. Click Properties, and click Advanced. Match the IP addresses to those displayed on the Interfaces tab of the Server Properties dialog box in DNS Manager: 1. In DNS Manager, right-click the DNS server name, then click Properties. 2. Click the Interfaces tab, and compare the IP addresses with those from the Advanced IP Addressing dialog box. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all DNS servers configured in DNS Manager. If there are no IP addresses configured in the Advanced IP Addressing or on the Interfaces tab of the Server Properties dialog box, enter the IP address of your network adapter. Use the ipconfig -all command at the command prompt to obtain your IP address. Check the binding of the TCP/IP protocol to the network adapter: 1. Open Control Panel, and double-click Network. 2. Click the Bindings tab. 3. Verify that the bindings for all protocols to network adapters are enabled, and that no broken connections exist in the stack.
