Hi Manish,
It seems that some service is already running on port 2425. Try killing the service running on port 2425 and installing Iptux again.
How do we do this ... Thank you for your support
This genuinely answered my issue, thank you!
I have checked out the iptux but it seems to be in another language like Chinese or Japanese. Can this be installed on Windows OS?
Iptux is compatible with Linux systems only. You can use IP Messenger which can be downloaded from http://ipmsg.org/index.html.en for Windows system.
