Kenneth Craft a ?crit :
I've been very unsuccessful at getting any of the exploits to work 
properly (it may be that my security is so tight that they are working 
properly). When I run the exploit on ANY machine, XP SP0, 1, 2 and 
Server2003 I get the same thing:
 
failed to initialize listener on local port 8080.
 
I know I'm new to the software and there's a learning curve, but I get 
this for almost every single exploit I try...
 
Any suggestions?
I'm quite sure that you've allready a service running on this port
do a "netstat -an" before launching the exploit and check if you've a 
service running on this port (any proxy software installed on your machine?)

you can then just change the port, use:
show options

then
SET HTTPPORT 8081
or SET PXHTTPPORT 8081

and connect to the server via http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8081
