To get anything more than guesses, you'll have to tell us what "won't work" and "can't/won't use port 80" mean. Details like whether you are accessing from the external interface or the internal one, and whether you are talking about port forwarding to an internal server or running the weblet (or some other httpd server) on the router itself.
As for the guesses ... some ISPs block incoming traffic to port 80 (to enforce "no server" policies for home accounts, or for security reasons ... or maybe just to keep the traffic up on troubleshooting lists), requiring off-LAN Web servers to use a non-standard port.
