Once it does we will see entry's for both TCP/IP and HTTP. But, IIRC, the http service is still a windows service and may need to be started - if it is set to autostart and does not, then there is some problem that needs to be resolved ( probably will have entries in the event log) It sounds like, from the OP's messages, that he does not have any http service running at 8080.. Twins: Try just connecting to http://localhost:8080 Or use your PCs actual IP address or name
