Exiting TELNET Causes an Error in Terminal (103148)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q103148 SUMMARY
When using Telnet with Windows NT, when you exit (using QUIT or BYE),
the following error message occurs in Terminal:
The port which was in use is no longer available.
Please select another port.
Telnet uses Terminal as a front end for TCP/IP connectivity. The file
TELNET.TRM is used as the Terminal settings file. When you exit Telnet
by typing either QUIT or BYE, Terminal attempts to refresh the active
communications port but cannot because the TELNET port is closed. To
continue to use Terminal, you must choose a different port in the
Communications dialog box.
