How to check port 8080 in Windows Vista command prompt?

I am very new to programming and setting up Java Servers. Actually its my first time to try it but not successful. I am about to test my first web app in Java but whenever I click the "Start server in debug mode" button in Eclipse I am always having error about my Tomcat server saying that port 8080 is being used. I wanna know how am I gonna check it in the console and close it if possible. Do you know other ways on dealing with this??? I also tried netstat but can't find the port 8080 among the list. Please help me out because I am really getting frustrated. I a tried whatever solution I find in google but still having the same problem. If you can explain to me what's going on that would b开发者_Go百科e very helpful. Thanks in advance.

Use the following command:

netstat -an | find ":8080"

to check whether the port 8080 is open.

try using the following command: \> netstat -a
