Many block ports for security purposes and sometimes to make additional money:<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<li>Obtain Dynamic Domain Name Service (Dynamic DNS). There are a number of providers that will give you this type of service for FREE. Just do a search for one and follow their directions. They will assign you a new url.<\/li>\n<li>Since port 80 and 81 are closed you will need to find another port that is open to give you access to the second web server. Obtain a port checking tool. Again, there are many FREE options. Just do an online search for one and run the tool to find another open port.<\/li>\n<li>You will need to configure your router. You will need to forward the appropriate web traffic to appropriate server. You will need to consult your router&#8217;s manual to do this. Since we know port 89 (access by typing new_url:89) is open that should point the existing server. Choose another open port (access by typing new_url:port_number_here) and forward traffic to the other server through that port.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I hope this helps. If not you may purchase consultation or contracting services.<\/p>\n<p>Good Luck!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Are you a struggling with a technical question?
