Trying to run a webserver on my XP Boxes and the server keeps telling me port 80 is blocked. I have XP firewall disabled and i'm not running anything crazy.

Any idea what would cause this?

Oh I get that a lot only on my router...

So my guestimation would be that its the web server software...

You probably have the built-in IIS enabled, and the other server can't open the port 80 because it's already in use. Have you tried http://localhost yet? If it comes with something then IIS is running on your computer.

Open Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Internet Information Services and expand Web Sites. Select the default website and right-click for options to Start/Stop. If it's there, then try stop and the other server software.

Have a look in the services list if World Wide Web Publishing is running/installed.

Ok, so some other program is using port 80. Skype?

Always load anything on port 80 before Skype. Skype will then use something else.

Next time, open the command prompt and run netstat -b. This will list all open ports and programs.
