When trying to disable certain firewall ports I'm told that other firewall software is running on my computer and I'll need to quit it first.

nothing.
Is there a simple way to locate this mystery app?
look in System Preferences > Sharing. The second tab is the firewall, make sure it's off.
Guess I'm not being clear. I can't access the OS X Firewall because I (apparently) neede to turn off this other app first. I need help identifying/locating this "other app"
Brickhouse is merely a replacement for the firewall panel in Sharing, it's not the firewall, it's the app that configures the built-in firewall. Both of them are gui interfaces into the command line tool ipfw, which creates the rules for the firewall.
I don't think the use of one will block the use of the other, other than the danger of overwriting each other's rules, but that could be the problem.
