Can the port number of the notebook sharing be changed from 8080 to 80

When configuring the wifi sharing, the port number is set to 8080 by the notebooks application. Is there a way of changing this to 80 to cater for the limitations of windows 7 in built WebDAV client that works like a drive mapping.

Thanks Ant

Hi Antoine,

currently, the standard port cannot be changed. But even changing it to 80 would not solve the issue with Windows 7, which is caused by the required authentication (Win7 is known to have issues with that)

As an alternative, you might use "NetDrive", which is available for free at http://www.netdrive.net and connects to WebDAV servers much more reliably than Windows itself ;-)

Best,
Alfons
