Nsclient will not start (or at least listen)

[Pete Dewell]

Have you tried changing the port number that the client listens on ? All 
the Win2003 servers I installed on have problems on port 1248 (I have 
been told it's probably due to Exchange). I changed the port to 2323, 
and it all works fine.
