localhost, Quick qestion

I recently decided to set up my own basic web server just to learn something new.  I'm running Vista Home Premium and I went to Apache.org and D/L'd the latest version of Apache (Win32 Binary including OpenSSL 0.9.8g - MSI Installer).  I installed it with administrative rights and rebooted my PC.  I then tested http://localhost and everything worked just fine and dandy.  But my ISP blocks port 80 so I attempted to edit my configuration file to listen to another port besides port 80 and then restarted the Apache server.  And localhost no longer worked.  I tried all sorts of different port numbers but no dice.  I changed it back to 80 and it works just fine.  Any ideas what could be causing the problem?
