IIS does not work when I start applications like Skype since it also uses port 80.
Which port can I use to run IIS other than 80? (8080 does not work)

A web server, for example IIS, listens on port 80 for HTTP and on port 443 for SSL requests. Those are default ports of course and can be configured. On the client side, operating system uses a random port number from an available port list, between 1024 – 65535.
Double-click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. In the Internet Information Services dialog box, expand local computer ►Sites and right click Default Website and select Bindings. Select the http setting and click Edit. Change the port number to 80 and click OK.
Port 25: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) used by e-mail servers. Port 53: DNS protocol. Port 80: Used for accessing Web servers.
Select the website from the list in the main pane, then click “Bindings…” in the Actions panel on the right-hand side of the IIS Manager. This will bring up a dialog box showing which methods can be used to view the website and how. You'll want to select the one with “80” in the Port column, and then click Remove.
You can run IIS on any port you like, as long as it does not conflict with other applications. I am using 88, 8888 and other easy to remember ports.
You can find the common used port here: PORT NUMBERS, and it is safer to choose an unassigned TCP port.

The Dynamic and/or Private Ports are those from 49152 through 65535
If IIS is working and you have troubles with an ASP.NET applications, those links might be helpful:
If you are still having troubles, it would be helpful to provide more information about your environment, the steps taken so far to solve the problem, and retagging the question (append asp.net for example)

Well you can disable skype to use port 80. Click tools --> Options --> Advanced --> Connection and uncheck the appropriate checkbox.
