    Firends this question is related to Windown 2000. I want port 80 to be free because i want my custom application to listen on this port. But on my machine some service is listening on port 80 and i don't know which service is it. From the service control manager i stopped the "World Wide Web" service but the port 80 is still not free. When i issue " netstat /a " command from dos prompt. I find that http port is not free. Can anyone tell me that which service listens on port 80 in Windows 2000 and how can i stop that service and so port can be released ???

      Active Ports from www.ntutility.com[^] is a free tool that will identify the open ports on your machine and show you which program is using each of them. On my Win2K machine the only program running on port 80 is inetserv.exe, so you may have other problems (a trojan, perhaps). Stopping the Web Publishing service might not release the port - try stopping the default website (and everything else) in Internet Services Manager, then disabling all of the web related services in Services, then rebooting. If port 80 is still in use after that, you have something unwanted on your machine that's running without your knowledge.

            Just a question, did you reboot after stopping the WWW service? Also, unless you are writing a web server (or another web related utility) I would not use port 80.
