Answer 1

The most likely reason is a firewall block, be sure to add an exception to the firewall exception list to allow the connection.

Answer 2

I solved the problem by disabling the firewall for port 80.

• Go to Search on the right side of the window.
• look for a firewall.
• open the "advanced firewall."
• Go to inbound rules.
• Click "New Rule".
• select the "Port" option.
• click "next"
• select the "TCP" option.
• select "Specific local ports:".
• enter "80" in the following text box
• Click on.
• select "Allow connection."
• Click "Next."
• Click "Next."
• enter the name "Allow port rule 80".
• Click "Next."

Note. This is not a safe way. delete this newly created rule when you finish your work.
