With this the script will write in the connecting IP address if generating a new Header. The error message is perhaps most likely caused by the script being run more than once in the same PowerShell session. It needs a Stop-SysLog type command to flush out all the existing network sockets. At the moment the only way to flush those is by closing and re-opening the PS window. I'll have a look at making that aspect more robust (it's part of the error handling it needs). Chris I’ve added in an option to prevent hostname lookup entirely.

Exception calling “ReceiveFrom” with “2″ argument(s): “You must call the Bind method before performing this operation.”
At C:\Syslog\syslogserver.ps1:78 char:41
+ $BytesReceived = $Socket.ReceiveFrom <<<< ($Buffer, [Ref]$SenderEndPoint)
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException

i have disabled message validation, that didn't help. my main goal was to not do a DNS lookup on the sending device. but i can't seem to figure out what the above error means or how to fix it. i've done a ton of Google searches.

thanks.
