Tomcat and Skype compabillity problem?

Hi,
I have a windows XP machine running both Skype and Tomcat.
When I start up the computer, Tomcat will not start, and it seems to be
because of Skype. If I close Skype and restart Tomcat, it works fine.
I've tried googling for this, but haven't found any similar postings.

Are there any known reasons why Skype should "disturb" Tomcat?

Regards, Per Magnus

Have you checked to see whether Skype binds itself to a port that
Tomcat wishes to use?
Use netstat, or Mark Russinovich's Tcpview. Navigate to microsoft.com
/technet/sysinternals/Networking/TcpView.mspx
and download (I don't provide M$ with clickable advertising here!!)

it's a nice interface and easy to see which ports Skype is grabbing.
Change Skype options to alter port(s) if needed.

That's all I can think of right now.
