when i try to change Web Companion's port to 81 it says:

Web Companion can't share files over the web... either because it does not enough memory or can't start TCP/IP networking."

i've got maxed out memory or maybe i can increase Web Companion's, how? (i forgot).

also, and i suspect this is more likely... i use my built in Apache to serve web pages and it is set to port 80.

how can i get this going?

(p.s. i actually had this work once upon a time, so i know "it will", i think

thanks in advance.

When OS X is installed it restricts the use of ports below 1024 ( I think that is the number). Either try a high port number or change the access restrictions for the lower number ports.

Hope this is the solution. All the best.

here was the solution:

to stop all sharing and web in OS X then start Web Companion (or change WC's port -which was my problem) then restart OS X's sharing items -FS and Web.
