[ale] how to "unblock" port 80

[Zyman, Andy]

Ron,
Thank You  for response.
He switched web server to 81 and "back to business". I don't know about how
he can route 8081 to 80.
 I know for sure, that in agreement between customer and Cablevision, they (
CV ) explicitly specifying that U should not run web servers.... :(
