Thanks Ritesh. Glad you liked it

p.s. Had to perform a whois on the IP to identify you.

Another cheap trick to find applications that are listening on port 80 (or any other port) is to use netstat. The windows version of netstat is slightly limited but will do quite well for our purposes

C:\> netstat -ab

“a” displays all connections and open ports
“b” displays the executable responsible for creating the connection

Your blog is really informative. Keep up the great work!

There’s also a problem with Skype. It listens to :80 as an alternative port for connections.

I should have re-updated the post that even changing to manual didn’t work, so I disabled it. heehee. Strange, but that worked :-/

By the way I could fig the decoding with .net maybe when I have more time I’ll fig it out.
That’s okay, take your time.

I had the same prob in my company I was developing the SandPress theme on the sly but I used to stop IIS manually and start it up when needed. Also you can configure apache to run on a different port but it doesn’t work for me in the company since they have blocked all other ports.
