Subject: Socket help

I am running windows XP with ruby 1.8.3 beta
[code]
require "socket"

port = if ARGV.size > 0 then ARGV.shift else 4444 end
port = 80
print port, "\n"

s = TCPSocket::open("localhost", port)

while gets
  s.write($_)
  print(s.gets)
end
s.close
[code]
gives me this error in scite
>ruby 23.rb
80
23.rb:7:in `initialize': No connection could be made because the target
machine actively refused it. - connect(2) (Errno::ECONNREFUSED)
	from 23.rb:7:in `open'
	from 23.rb:7
>Exit code: 1
