It seems that the computer you are connecting to, using Firefox, has Apache Web Server installed, right?

to tell you the truth... i would not have a clue...
almost a year ago, i got my laptop, and i decided to find a way to send files over the wireless at home... having samba only working when it deems fit i tried other methods like SSH, etc... when i finally came across NFS (which i have stuck with)

A browser will by default connect on port 80 which is the default port for web servers. If you don't use it as a webserver, shut down apache and stop it from starting at boot. Or limit access to it.

You can turn it off from within the "services settings" application. If something else breaks you can turn it back on there too

My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.
