Oh... Oklahoma. Oklahoma uses port 90.

80 is the standard port for HTTP and 443 is the standard port for HTTPS

You can set this to any free port but most users will enter
http://www.domain.com which defaults to port 80.

They could enter http://www.domain.com:81 to access your site on port 81.

Do you know for sure that your ISP is blocking port 80? Have you telephoned
them?

You also need to forward the request from your DSL or Cable modem to your
IIS computer. Check with the documentation for the modem to learn how to do
this.

Please let me know if you need any more help.

Hi,

HTTP uses by default port 80. You can however run your website on any
port, but it may require your users to specify the port.

Why is port 80 blocked in your situation? Who blocks it? Your ISP? If your
ISP blocks this port it is most likely because they do not want their
customers to run their own servers. Contact your ISP and ask them.

In addition to the ISP suggestion, if you have the firwall active by
default it blocks port 80. Configure it to allow web site access.
