ISAPI Redirector not redirecting?

Hi all,

This will seem to be an extremely minor problem for most of you, however
I have expended numerous hours in research and testing with no success
and exhausted all of my ideas (and a few other peoples ideas) for
resolution of this issue. 

I have an IIS web server running alongside an Apache web server with the
Tomcat java engine. 
The problem I am experiencing is when calling the context path I am
forced to use port 8080. 
I can access the webserver (as expected) using the default port 80 and
get content but if I want to call the context path I am forced to use
port 8080 or I get a page cannot be displayed. 

Much research has yielded many documents and I have installed and
configured the ISAPI redirector dll along with the extensions
configuration and I have green arrows everywhere still with the port
8080 requirement.

I have also checked and double checked permissions on the folders,
virtual folders and dll and I have access pretty much wide open.  

I have two servers side by side, seemingly identical setups, one works
fine the other has the port 8080 requirement. I have copied all the
config files from the working server to the other server with no better
results. 

If I turn off IIS and use just the Apache web server, port 80 works
fine. ( I reconfigure IIS for a different port)

I have double checked to make sure there are no OS patch differences on
these servers but they are identical with the exception of an adobe
reader patch on one. (doubtful this has any effect)

For reasons I won't bore you with, I need this to appear to work
seamlessly on port 80 with IIS. Can anyone offer some insights as to
what I might be missing? 

Bear in mind, if I use port 8080 the system is peachy, performance,
access, content etc. no issues.

Thanks a lot for your help,
Bob.
