Got bitten by Skype

It appears that Skype, in its default setup, listens on port 80 and port 443 (HTTP and HTTPS) when loaded (alternative ports for incoming calls). This is bad when running a web server for testing or trying to use the web preview from Domino Desinger. So mental note to self – no Skype while working!! 🙂

One thought on “Got bitten by Skype”

  1. Hi Mikkel,
    I had similar problems, but there is a simple solution: within the options dialog box, tab connection (or however it is called – I’ve got a german client 😉 ) you can deselect the checkbox “Use Ports 80 and 433 as alternative for incoming connections” (again that’s a translation from my german client – but you should find it nevertheless…).

    Works for me like a charm.

    By the way thanks for your postings, great tips and insights!

    Cheers

    Hans-Peter
