Redirected Ports

I have a web site on which I would like to redirect the port. If I change it from port 80 to something else are there any rules of thumb that I should abide by?

Thanks,
Wanabe

Type "netstat -an" at a command prompt to make sure no other service is listening on that port. You'll see a bunch of IP addresses (and some that are 0.0.0.0) with a number after them separated by a colon. For example:

192.168.100.1:139

The number after the colon is the port. The far right column shows the state of that connection. Anything showing "LISTENING" would be a port already in use.

Hope that helps.
