Question : DNS Server fails to start =>The Handle is invalid?

I can't start my DNS Server and I get the following errors in my event viewer:

=> Starting Microsoft DNS Server (v4.0). => Event ID: 1

=> DNS Server could not create the main datagram socket. The data is the error. => Event ID: 406

=> DNS Server could not open socket for address 192.168.0.4. => Event ID: 408

=> The Microsoft DNS Server service terminated with the following error: The handle is invalid. => Event ID: 7023

=> The DNS Server has shutdown. => Event ID: 3

I have checked the IP address and it's valid.  I can ping it ok - not a problem (from same machine and other local machines).  I use this IP for other things as well.

Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks

Answer : DNS Server fails to start =>The Handle is invalid?

Microsoft has several cases where this error is generated.  The most specific to your situation is that there is a mismatch between the IP addresses configured in the Advanced IP Addressing dialog box and those listed in the Server Properties dialog box for the DNS server. This problem can also occur if the TCP/IP protocol is not bound to the network adapter.

I have provided two links that talk about this error and instructions to fix it.
