Sounds like more than 1 web site or FTP sites are trying to start up with the same configured IP address.
For example, say the IP address on your machine is 10.1.1.2. In the Internet Services Manager snap-in, you went to Default Web Site -> Properties -> Website tab and in the IP Address drop-down you chose 10.1.1.2 (instead of All Unassigned).
Ok. Now, you make a 2nd web site (Website 2), and in its IP Address dropdown, you set it to the same IP address, 10.1.1.2
If you then try to run webservices, you will get this error. You can't have 2 web sites or 2 FTP sites with the same IP address.
So, check all web sites and/or FTP sites, and find out which 2 are trying to use the same IP address.

hope this helps.
