I've been using this for almost a year now and it works fine with my
4.1 system and probably 50 plus outside PCs.

I posted my config recently on here, but I don't have the stripped
version (without my addresses) handy and I'm short on time at the moment,
but I'll post it again if asked.

If you do "netstat -a | grep LISTEN" is there anything already using
any of the addresses/ports you are trying to assign in the config file?

Sounds to me like you have something else running that is using an
address you are trying to use with mpd.
