The port number for your server depends on how the server was setup
and established.

Most httpd servers run on port 80.

Sometimes people configure them to run on other ports, say 8888 or
7777 or whatever. When you see a URL like this

http://foo.bar.com:8080/

the "8080" means that the httpd server is running on port 8080.

Ask the sysadmin who set up the server, what port it's running on.

I don't think there is a general support hotline for Java technical
support, we just try to answer java security questions. In general,
try the newsgroups, like comp.lang.java.*
