import socket, tkinter as tk
from tkinter import scrolledtext
def connect_gui():
sock = socket.socket()
sock.connect((entry_ip.get(), int(entry_port.get())))
log.insert(tk.END, "Connected!\n")
Solution: Another application (including a previous instance of Netcat GUI) is using the port. Go to Settings > "Kill zombie processes" or restart the app as Administrator.
