TBBle:I recently hit this, and failed to find this post at the time, but I managed to get it working by using Connect To and entering "localhost" instead of accepting the default "computername (local)".
Now I know what to look for, turns out Skype is listening on port 80. But this way, I don't have to kill Skype to use XACT.
Comeon guys, along with the IIS solution, is an impotant fix.
I've spent 2 days lookin for a solution, could you please make an entry in the home page for this problem ?
By the way, the Auditioning system uses port 80 too ? c'mon!!!
