Available HTTP Ports

[Scott]

I am having an issue with conflicting ports, I was
wondering if there is anyway to view all used ports so
that I can pick one that is not in use for a new service.

you can use a port scanner

if connected to the internet and not behind a firewall then use shields up

Microsoft has one called Port Query.

Ok, it seems as though the ports are not enabled, does
anyone know how to enable a port, I've got a firewall
between myself and the internet, but I only need this
port enabled inside of my network, so I don't think it
would be in the firewall settings.

Thanks to anyone that can help

---------------------

1. Open a CMD window
2. Run "netstat -a"
This will show all of your TCP and UDP ports that are listening and/or in
use.

Be sure not to use a "well-known" port, or else you could conflict with
other services in the future

Ok, So what I actually need are ports 81, 82, and 8081,
however they are not enabled, if anyone could tell me how
to do that it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Once you have an application listening on those ports they are enabled. Try it. Go to IIS Manager and set your http server to listen on any port that is not enabled at the moment. Then look. I'll bet that port is now enabled and listening.
