we have IIS 7.5 on server machine.
All websites can be access locally (80 and 8081 port as well)
However, only port 80 website can be accessed remotely. But the website on 8081 cannot be accessed remotely.
What is wrong?

That is because you have firewall turned on for non standard ports (even if HTTP protocol is used and HTTP is enabled in firewall app/feature settings because it defaults to port 80).
To enable remote port 8018 access: under firewall.cpl -> Advanced settings -> Inbound rules add new rule for port 8081, TCP
