Networking configuration question

AI Thread Summary
Setting up multiple web applications on a server has led to challenges with visibility, as only the application on port 80 is accessible externally. The user has applications running on ports 80 and 85, with the latter handled by Microsoft IIS, and is attempting to display content from one application in an iframe within another. Despite checking for firewall issues, the user suspects that non-standard ports may be blocked by the ISP. They are exploring URL redirects and other workarounds but lack the technical expertise to troubleshoot effectively. An update reveals that a corporate firewall is likely blocking access to the non-standard ports, confirming that this was the root of the problem.

I'm trying to set up several web applications on a server. There is a current application running https that I can't touch. I have two other web applications that I set up. I have them running on port 80 and 85. Port 80 is a glassfish server and port 85 is being handled by Microsoft IIS. The one application needs to display an iframe with the content of the the other application. I have this running locally and it does what I want for now.

However, only the application running on port 80 is ever visible to the outside world. I've checked for firewall blocking and that doesn't seem to be the problem. I have run across a few comments on the web saying that ISPs may block non-standard ports. So, I've been trying to create URL redirects and other kinds of workarounds. I am not a network engineer so I'm really just fumbling around in the dark with this. I've been Googling everything that I can think of but, sometimes you have to know the right question to ask. Since I don't know the right questions, maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

EDIT: Spoke with one of the network guys at work and it looks like ports are being blocked by a corporate firewall.

@Borg Do you remember how the problem was solved? Was the issue due to the corporate firewall that you mentioned, or something else?
 
Since this is from 2012, I don't remember anything about it. Since my edit said that the problem was due to a corporate firewall, that must have been what it was.
 
Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
