Server server = new Server(); // Creates a ServerSocket and binds it to a port.
Client client = new Client(server.getSocketAddress());

public Client(SocketAddress bind)
{
	try
	{
		socket = new Socket();
		socket.bind(bind); // Problem here
		recieve = new Scanner(socket.getInputStream());
		send = new Formatter(socket.getOutputStream());
	}
	catch (IOException e)
	{
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
}

Running the above code sets off the following exception:

java.net.SocketException: Unrecognized Windows Sockets error: 0: JVM_Bind

I don't even know what this exception is, and I can't find anything that will really tell me what is going on. Can anyone tell me what is happening here?
