[Unite] Opera Unite won't start

Hi there my fellow Opera users !

Today I tried again Opera Unite and found that it is way more usefull than some time ago... finally I'm going to share music with people easily, and will be able to show my Ruby on Rails WIP without having any complex task to perform !

I was all happy and stuff, untill the moment I saw that Opera Unit won't start : this is the error message it outputs me :
"The socket the web server wants to listen to is taken."

I find it rather disturbing. What's happening to me ?
At first I thought, maybe he wants to tell me that the port Opera Unit try to use is taken ? But nope, that's not it, nothing in my computer currently use the port 8840.
On other computers with similar configuration, Opera Unite already worked for me just swell. But I'm now connecting from Spain, and with a very strange router... maybe it has something to do with that ?

Thanks for helping folks !
