Well if all that you are looking for is to find out if there is something
listening on a particular port, I would suggest nmap
(www.insecure.org/nmap) it is a port scanner, once you download, and install
/ compile it you would use this syntax nmap 192.168.0.1 [Substitute your IP
address here] -p 8080[substitute your port here]
