[Xitami] Port 80 mystery

Hi, Magus...

  Netstat is SO COOL!  Using netstat -b, it showed me the executables 
that are using ports.  Now my problem is that I'm not sure which number 
is the port number.  Is that PID?  Local Address?  Foreign address?  All 
the numbers have four digits; I think I remember that anything that has 
80 or 81 as last two digits is port 80, is that correct?  So I saw that 
Foldershare, MS's web-based service for syncing documents between 
computers, showed 2280 so I closed it.  When that didn't solve the 
problem I uninstalled Foldershare completely and restarted the computer, 
and STILL I get the same message.  Now only thunderbird and google 
notify are using ports and  none of the numbers end in 80 or 81. 

In Xitami's FAQ it says that the port for Xitami can be changed by 
creating a file default.cfg and designating a different port.  So I can 
try that but I'd rather identify what is tying up port 80 because it 
bothers me not to know.
