bind() failed : Cannot assign requested address ??

[Brennon Williams]

The way I read the instructions was that I needed to run this command in
order to allow my client running on the machine with an ip of 192.168.0.2 to
get access to it...

I have both a root user and an additional user..

Oh yes, you're right.

Is 192.168.0.2 an address for one of the machine's interfaces?

Are you trying to run this as something other than root?
