I've got several domains registered with 1and1 that point to sub folders on a hosting server, I'm now moving them onto my own IIS server but it doesnt seem to use the port forwarding i.e. website 1 = 80, site 2 = 81 etc. Any ideas?
 
Not sure what you mean.

Each website you can assign to a different port, or a different ip, or a different host header value. At least one of these must be different for each web site.
 
In what respect isnt it working ?

Have you setup your firewall to forward all the relevant ports to your IIS server ? Also when your trying to go to the website are you doing http://website2:81 ?

You'll need to specify the port if it isnt using port 80.
 
sorry about the lack of detail, was in a rush to post.

basically I have 2 sites on my IIS server running, 1 on port 80 and 1 on port 81, if I type in the ext IP address + port it works ok. However within the 1and1 config page I'm using the forwarding setting and forwarding the 2nd site to http://80.xx.xx.xxx:81 but it doesnt seem to work correctly, it brings in the port 80 site. The firewall is setup to forward any port 81 traffic through to the server on port 81 (and the same for port 80).
