Symptoms

Controlutil.exe in K2 4.6.9/4.6.10 ignores optional parameters such as port and always uses default localhost and 5555 to connect to server. Optional parameters used to work fine in older versions, e.g. 4.6.6.

The following error message is displayed:

System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it XXX.YYY.ZZZ.XXX:5555
