I am able to access this url (Don't bother clicking on it, it's just an example): http://my.url.com/

This web site works: http://localhost:8080/tfs/web/

I setup my router to forward port 80 to the PC hosting the web site. I also forward port 8080 to the same box.

But when I try to access this url I get the eror "Page Cannot be displayed:"

http://my.url.com:8080/tfs/web/

I fwded port 8080 the same way I fwded port 80. I also turned off Windows Firewall, in case it was blocking port 8080.

Any theories why port 80 works but 8080 does not?
