Socket.bind() returns "The requested address is not valid in its context." on Win7

I am trying to use the Socket.bind() function this way:

Bind(new IPEndPoint(myInternalAddress, myPort));

The error I am getting is "The requested address is not valid in its context.", but this only happens on Windows 7 (I am using 64 bit).

Befor my upgrade a few days ago this was working fine, and I checked the IPs to be the correct ones.

Any help would be appreciated on what exactly goes wrong here.

bind() ... binds a socket to local IP address and port. That's what IPEndPoint takes in its constructor (see IPEndPoint(address, port)). Looks like you are passing local and remote addresses there instead.

Edit:

If none of the ports work then it's probably the IP address that is wrong. Since you mention an "upgrade" - see what changed - is the address still the same? ipconfig - hint, hint.
