Just to followup, I tried changing port in cfg to 5000, 5001, etc.
Worked fine.

After variety of testing things, I eventually went back to try to use
port 4000, etc. After many fails, now it works.

You may have still had something occupying the port. Only one program can listen to a port on either UDP or TCP.
