Hi. Thanks.

Thanks is an interesting thought.

I am using IIS 6.0 / Server 2003, not Apache.
Does anybody out there know of a DOS command
to probe port 80 and find out what processes are using it?
Or, for that matter, to find out what ports are being used
by a particular server?

I am still stuck on this one...

You can use netstat -ano, look at the PID and associate it with the PID in
Task Manager.

There are other tools that can also be used, such as Process Explorer, to
take it a step further, if need be, to look at the actual DLLs under a
process.

Process ExplorerProcess Explorer, also known as procexp.exe, shows you
information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

OK, thanks for that.
I tried netstat - ano and looked up PID "4" (which pointed to port 80)
and there was no PID "4" in task manager.
PID 4 was the only port 80 process according to netstat so, I am
wondering if an overloaded port isn't the
answer to my original question?

I am still perplexed by this error. Under what conditions might the
network think that a port number which is
obviolusly within bounds might be out of range (assuming a competing
process is not the answer)?
