http://www.cablemodemhelp.com/portscan.htm worked - it said port 80 is closed, but how can i tell if there is something on my computer closed it or if the ISP closes it? Maybe a program that will tell me it has recieved requests or packets on that port, something that runs on my machine. I know there are programs like that , I just am not familiar with the name or usage, so would appreciate a tip on it. THank you for your response though - at least I know that i didnt "mess up" with apache, esp since I can access my page on port 8000!
