I have been having issues on and off since starting to use Plex Connect some times when it starts I receive an error that port 49152 is already in use(OR something to that effect)
When looking at the DNSServer.py file I found that port 49152 (Around line 146) is hard coded and has the following comments;
# todo: where to get free port from?
# todo: do we need bind?
I am no developer but I have found through a quick web search that instead of specifying a port number in this line;
DNS_forward.bind(('',49152))
if you just use;
DNS_forward.bind(('',0))
the next available port will be allocated. Since I made this change to the file I have not had the issues at all. (Even with numerous restarts) My PlexConnect is running on a Windows 2008 Server.

Anyway just in case someone else has the issue.
Nice find! I have an issue with 49152 on my windows 7 box and it's random, I always have to change to something else like 49160 or something. Cant wait to get home to try this out. This is why I love open source projects :)
