thank you Jan for your technical explanation and solution. KILL command solve my problem:)

IIRC there is a trick ( I think I first saw it on ntpd, so UDP,
although I think it works in TCP too ) to react to IP changes and hava
control of the source address. You start with a socket bound to the
wildcard address ( i.e., 0.0.0.0:1719 ), and, when a packet is
received you look at the destination address ( which is your local
address ) and bind another socket to this if needed ( let's say to
192.168.1.1:1719 ) and use it for replies, and from there to receive
packets. setsockopt(IP_PKTINFO) and recvmsg where needed in the socket
used at the wildcard address, normally with a little layer to hide the
fact that the first acket for a transport address did not come from
the same socket which later was associated with it,  and some flags
where needed to have the binding survive interfaces coming up/down,
but the nice thing was that it totally abstracted the details of
interfaces and let you work with just transport addresses. I think
this works in linux, not sure about the other os though.
