What configuration was in use to get that exact error message. If dnsmasq is binding the wildcard address (0.0.0.0), I'd expect to see a message like
dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for port 53 Whilst if dnsmasq is configured to bind the hosts addresses, I'd expect to see something like dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for 192.168.151.1 So I'm confused how you're getting the message with an IP address, but for the 0.0.0.0 wildcard address.
