Hi Ted, Thanks for responding promptly.The problem seems with starting the server. Here is the error I am getting when I started the server. I opened the port 31135 in windows firewall but that haven't solved it.
C:\Users\Administrator>umls_similarity_server Error log = <none> Local port = 31135 Maxchild = 4 Loading modules... done. Starting server... going into background. Could not bind to network port: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. Let me know if anyone on the windows users know the solution to this.
