Verizon Wireless Wrecks JRun Admin

I recently had to grab a buddy's Verizon Wireless card while my Cingular (sorry, "New ATT") card was on the fritz. A week later I discovered I could no longer access my JRun administrator. Here's the deal:

The Verizon wireless software (created by Venturi) uses port 8000 - the same port that the JRun Admin uses by default. If you want to get around this by changing your JRun Admin port, that's an option. If you want to remove the software - good luck. I had already removed the venturi software from my system using "Add/Remove Programs" but it left a file called "VentC.exe" on my system and it still runs at start-up. This file should be able to be safely deleted, but it's a known bug (that the uninstaller doesn't do a full uninstall) so I suggest first going to the venturi site and downloading the "full uninstaller" at http://venturi.he.net/~venturi/rmventuriall_1_0.exe.

If you don't know your way around DOS, I highly recommend learning it if you're going to use Windows. The way I diagnosed the problem was as follows:

1. I tried starting JRun admin server from a command prompt ("jrun -start admin" from the JRun bin directory) - I saw in the console that the server wasn't starting because port 8000 was already in use
2. From a (new) command prompt I typed "netstat -ano | findstr :8000" - this tells me a few bits of information about what applications are using TCP sockets on my machine - the last bit of information it spits out is the process ID. I pipe it to a findstring to only show me the process using port 8000
3. I then type: tasklist /fi "PID eq 3016" - this tells me some bits of information about the application that is running as a specific process number - in this case process 3016, which was the ID returned in my netstat. Among other information, the console told me that VentC.exe is the executable process I'm looking for

Here's what the commands looked like in my console window when trying to determine what's using port 8000:
