What does netstat say? Use -t and -u to show both udp and tcp, -l to filter for listening ports, -p to get the pids of the processes and eventually -e for a more detailed output (so, for short `netstat -tulpe' - btw. thanks to whoever posted this acronym to the list. Speaking german this is pretty easy to remember(Tulpe = tulip(the flower) :). If you are lucky, that should reveal the process listening to that port..
