HttpHandlers on a website NOT using port 80

I have a web application that allows a user to manage their own page
content. The content is stored in a database. When a user is editing an
.htm page, the page that houses the preview screen requests the .htm page
(that doesn't really exist except in the database), the HttpHandler
dynamically generates the page from the database and it is rendered so the
user can preview it. If they choose to save it, it is written to another
website on the server. The purpose is to create static, less
server-intensive pages for a public site.

The problem is that we have changed the development server where the editing
is done so the applications have their own web sites. Before, everything was
a subweb of the Default Web Site (port 80). Now, it's running on port 86 and
the httphandler doesn't work. I have installed remote debugging on the
server and cannot step into the httpmodule when requesting an .htm page. I
get the following error:

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process
request. ---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error:
(404) Not Found. at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.CheckFinalStatus() at
System.Net.HttpWebRequest.EndGetResponse(IAsyncResult asyncResult) at
System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() at
myNamespace.myAssembly.myClass.readHtmlPage(String url) in
d:\myProject\pagegrabber.asmx.cs:line 85 --- End of inner exception stack
trace ---

This works fine on my local machine, where it is running on port 80. Is
there a problem with running httphandlers on a port rather than a default?
If not, is there a setting that I need to adjust to allow this to happen?
