I just don't see why it would not be working if I have had no problems before a while back, except for it actually running. Before I had it so that it would work, and actually work on port 81. For some reason it doesn't want to work now. I would try to use another port but only standard ports that are not blocked by my school work, like port 81 and 3389. This is why I chose port 81 If I am reading the information right from that command, nothing else is running on port 81. Although it came up with quite a few things and it could also be that they are running on it. As I said above, I just don't see why it wouldn't like the port now...
