[Olsr-dev] Socket error

Hi everyone !

I have a laptop running on Windows XP on which one I want olsrd to run
on both Wifi (192.168.0.1) and ethernet (10.0.0.1) interfaces so I
choose this two interfaces in the GUI and click start but the daemon
won't start because it "couldn't initialize socket". Here is the exact
error message :

=======================================================
*** olsr.org - 0.5.5 ***
 Build date: 2008-02-10 19:59:36 on PCAcer
 http://www.olsr.org

Parsing file: "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\GNUE.tmp"
ERROR - getsocket/bind(): Une seule utilisation de chaque adresse de
socket (protocole/adresse réseau/port) est habituellement autorisée.
Could not initialize socket... exiting!
=======================================================*

I noticed that olsrd uses UDP port 698 to send&receive OLSR packets
maybe this port can't be shared between two interfaces ?
Is there a workaround ?
Is it possible for a node to route packets using only one network
interface ? With Windows ? With Linux ?

Best regards.
