How can I open a particular port on my server.
I have a web application that I want to run at a port other than port 80

I can set the app to run at any port I desire, but I need to open my 2003
standard server to allow it to run
 
Hello John,

World Wide Web Publishing Service provides the infrastructure that is
necessary to register, to manage, to monitor, and to serve Web sites and
programs that are registered with IIS. This system service contains a
process manager and a configuration manager. The process manager controls
the processes where custom applications and Web sites reside. The
configuration manager reads the stored system configuration for World Wide
Web Publishing Service and makes sure that Http.sys is configured to route
HTTP requests to the appropriate application pools or operating system
processes. You can configure the ports that are used by this service
through the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager snap-in. If the
administrative Web site is enabled, a virtual Web site is created that uses
HTTP traffic on TCP port 8098.

System service name: W3SVCApplication protocol Protocol Ports
HTTP TCP 80
HTTPS TCP 443

NOTE: It is possible to change the port that Internet Information Server
(IIS) services will listen to. This can be useful when you try to run
multiple web servers on the same computer.
