Need help getting Ripbot's distributed encoding working.

[kempodragon]

I'm currently transitioning to Linux and need some help getting Ripbot fully operational. I setup Ripbot using Bottles, and while it works flawlessly with DE turned off, it refuses to work with DE turned on. I get the error message "Could not bind socket, address and port already in use." When I ran the EncodingServer.exe it started normally, waiting for a command from the client. Starting the encoder, it received the request from the client, but refused it and closed down (not crashed). The I.P., port, and MAC address are all correct in the server list. Linux has nothing that can do distributed encoding like Ripbot, so I really need to get this working. Thank You.
