On my mac, I cannot create a server on any port less than 1024. How do I fix this? Id like to not have to use port forwarding, but if that is necessary, could somebody please explain how? Thank you!!!

I believe that only the root user can use ports less than 1024 -- and it is likely for a security reason. So, your only option is to run your program as the root user.
