Battlefield 1942 Server Manager will not start (Linux)

I just recently set up a BF1942 server on Linux Ubuntu.
However, after several starts, the following error message appeared and it did not even start.
Rebooting the server and disabling the firewall did not help.

----------------------
2024-06-13 20:40:50 : Battlefield 1942 Server Manager v2.0 (final)
2024-06-13 20:40:50 : Started under Linux xx-server 6.8.0-35-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon May 20 15:51:52 UTC 2024 x86_64
2024-06-13 20:40:50 : WARNING: PunkBuster is not installed on this server. All PunkBuster commands in Server Manager will have no effect until PunkBuster is installed.
2024-06-13 20:40:50 : Couldn't bind server socket! Cannot assign requested address (99)
----------------------
I really don't understand what this means.
「 Couldn't bind server socket! Cannot assign requested address (99)」

Somebody please help me.

Sorry.
I have solved this problem.

I am not sure why this problem came up, but I found a hint in the command reference.
When starting bfsmd, you can now start the server manager by explicitly specifying your ip address with "-ip".

Why...? (;^ω^)
