my port 80 is being used by another application and i bought another application and it needs port 80 to be able to work, can i install two network cards so that i can have two 80 ports

You can't. Port 80 in the http port.

what are the two applications? you may be able to set one to "listen" on another port then when using a browser to access it add the new port to the end of url.

For example, if you had a web server and webinterface file explorer, set the file server to use another port (random high one probably best like 9231 for instance)

you would access the web server on http://localhost and the file server on http://localhost:9231

hope that helps

Port 80 is the destination port... HTTP source port would be a random port #.

Also: Yes, you can add another IP address either by adding another NIC or is you use static IP addresses you can just add another - However, that will only help if you can tell your software to only use one of the IP addresses. By default server software will use ALL addresses.

If you can't tell you program to change to a different nic like was PhilFrisbie suggested you could install what ever program you need in a virtual machine in Bridged mode. This will make it look like you have two computer connected to the network at once, instead of just one. You will only need 1 network card for this to work.
These solutions will only work if you are only trying to access something in a local environment. If you are trying to do this over the internet, then your out of luck and will need to change a port number, unless you have 2 public IPs.

That is an excellent option, and I don't know why I did not think of it! Especially since I do all my web development in a virtual copy of XP that has Apache web server installed so I can test the pages locally before uploading.

Thanks
Yeah I love virtual machines, I have a Vsphere server, running 3 servers at my house, it is very nice not have to worry if a program is going to interfere with another one. Or if a program only runs in certain OS, And the entire thing is almost totally remote accessible, As long as nothing is physically wrong, I don't even need to touch my server. And it saves power only running one physical machine. Only problem is trying to find copies of windows to run in them. Luckily I have a bunch of XP licenses since I upgraded to 7
