As I have a NAS running on port 80, I'd like to use a port number like 8000 of 8080 for the Digibutler. Can it be changed and if so where?

Why would you want to do that ?
I suppose your NAS has its own IP address (different from the Digibutler's), so there shouldn't be any conflict ?

www.xyz.com:80
versus
www.xyz.com:8080
I'd need to reroute that, don't I?

What are you using as IP addresses ?

Actually, that could be any IP address... But, I know how it works now:
www.myserver.com looks up IP address 123.456.78.90 through DNS. Both my NAS and the Digibutler have their own internal IP address.
By using port forwarding, I can (that is: my router can), I can route traffic to port 80 to my NAS on IP address X and traffic on port 8080 to my Digibutler on IP address Y. Both still listen on port 80 though.
So, 1 external IP address for both, 2 different ports, port forwarding and each applicance its own internal IP address. As I'm not home at the moment, I haven't checked if this works, but I had similar logic when I had 2 network switches attached to my router, so it should work.
So, indeed, no need to change the port the Digibutler listens to, only port forwarding...
