Symptoms

When a client application tries to connect to a Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2)-based server during a dynamic port allocation process, the connection fails, and the application does not work as expected. Additionally, event ID 4227 is logged on the server, and the client application receives a WinSock error 10048 (WSAEADDRINUSE).

Notes

Cause

This issue occurs because a new dynamic port that has a "Closing" status is allocated. Then, the Tcpip.sys driver registers the event ID 4227 on the server.
