well, you can force X to quite via "ctl-alt-backspace" but if
you're running a display manager, that'll just return you to
your graphical login.
try "ctl-alt-f1" and you'll be back at your console. (your X
display will still be at "ctl-alt-f7" if you want to get back to
it.) then you can tinker from there.
to see how to keep your display manager from taking over, see a
recent debian-user thread "Re: give me the command line -
REPHRASED".

:
How do you determine WHICH NETWORK SERVICES ARE OPEN (active)?
Try "netstat -a | grep LISTEN". To see numeric values (instead
of the common names for services using a particular port) then
try "netstat -na" instead. For more info, look at "man netstat".
Also try "lsof -i" as root. "man lsof" for details.
