It means the port is in use.

Actually it usually means the firewall is denying the pager the ability to open a port. (Unless you've set a specific port for your pager, and it's a low enough port number that Windows is apt to use it automatically, it is not in use.) Fix the firewall settings and all will be well.

Yeah, I was wrong it means it's unable to open that port, but anyway there is still a chance that it's being used already.

The chance of the port being in use is extremely low if the port was given a high enough number, and zero if the user never chooses a specific port for the pager. If this happens every time the pager opens, it's a firewall for sure.

I have no idea how to do any of those things, I'm using Avg's firewall though

Try disabling it.

Okay, the first thing you need to do is ditch AVG in favor of an antivirus program that works. AVG has been unreliable and extremely buggy for at least a year and a half now. I've had it completely kill my Internet connection just because its update didn't work. I recommend using Avast instead, which is also free.
Most likely though, the firewall causing the issue is the Windows firewall. You may have more than one firewall; if you have nVidia graphics card, that comes with a firewall too (which you should turn off). The firewall needs to be set to allow Internet access to dreamseeker.exe, dreamdaemon.exe, and byond.exe. All three programs should allow TCP traffic to go in and out. Your current firewall is denying the pager (byond.exe) the ability to accept incoming traffic. If the firewall also has a setting to keep track of a hash of each program in case they change, disable that setting--it interferes with BYOND updates. | |

Yeah i see what you mean i removed AVG and for some reason it's still active. Now for the windows firewall do i set a new rule and add those programs?

Just kill the AVG process(es).

Just open task manager you can do this by either right clicking on your task bar or by pressing Control+Alt+Delete. Then go to the processes tab and find anything related to AVG and hit the delete(del) button.

You did what exactly? A firewall is definitely the cause of this problem. If you've configured one firewall (it'd help to know which one), then you either didn't do it correctly or you have a different firewall interfering.

I allowed all three through the windows firewall and i got rid of avg also

If all three programs can handle incoming and outgoing traffic, then the Windows firewall is not the only firewall. If you have an nVidia graphics card, that has a firewall too, and you should remove it (the firewall, not the card). Your antivirus software may have a firewall of its own.

I did all that and it still has a problem, This the first time i had this problem with byond in a few years
