Remove or kill a port in XP.

[Richard (Tor)]

Hi,

When I started my Tomcat in XP, it failed because it complained port
80 was already being used. I did a netstat -a and found that port 80
was used by UDP but I did not know which process was using it and why?

Is there a way to find out which program or process is using that port
80 and subsequently kill it because it should not be there?

Thanks in advance
Richard

See if that helps.
