[drats_users] Testing D-rats with Ratflector on same PC - error trying to connect to port 9000

[Brian Lawler]

I am stumped John.  When I run DRATS without having drats_repeater running
I get the very same error #.  Just to re-hash: d-rats_repeater is running
just with the default settings: nothing in the paths window, check in
"accept incoming connections Port: 9000  GPS port: 9500"  (GPS doesn't
matter of course); No check in "require authentication"; Check in "trust
localhost"; Repeater callsign doesn't matter but default is "Repeater".
 The very first time I ran it I was asked by Windows firewall if
I wanted to trust it in my private network and I answered "yes-allow ".
 Looking at Windows Firewall settings for d-rats_repeater I have a check in
the "Private network" box but not "public".

That's about all I can think of.  :(
