Port Forwarding assistance

I have created a web server from home using windows server 2008 and IIS7. I am using godaddy.com for my domain and zoneedit.com for the DNS. I created a static ip on my webserver and since my home isp blocks port 80 and 8080 I am using port 7654. So I setup up my router to forward port 7654 to my server ip. Everything works great now except that to connect to my website I have to type in www.dekadentoc.com:7654 if I type in www.dekadentoc.com it will time out, assuming this is because it isn't using the default port 80. Is there anyway I can use port 7654 and be able to type in www.dekadentoc.com without the colon and port number at the end?

Thanks,

Danny

No, you can't.

Port 80 is the default for the HTTP protocol, and is used as such by the browsers of the people coming to your site.
There is nothing on your side you can do to make every requests to your server go on port 7654 if it's blocked from the ISP.

So basically I am stuck with people having to enter www.dekadentoc.com:7654 into the browser to get to my website?

There is no way around this?

You can forward incoming port 7654 to local port 80, and then listen: 80 in your server configuration. Your Internet visitors will still have to go to your site:7654 to go around your ISP's block, but you can go to 192.168.x.x without a port number within your own network.

You could possibly hire a proxy server, that you point your domain to, and have it listen on :80, and have it relay incoming port 80 to your IP address:7654.
