I setup my router to forward port 80 to the PC hosting my web site. As a result, I am able to access this url (Don't bother clicking on it, it's just an example): http://my.url.com/
When i click on this link, it works: http://localhost:8080/tfs/web/
I also forward port 8080 to the same web server 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?
