To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods:
Method 1: Configure Windows Firewall to enable HTTP traffic
To configure Windows Firewall to enable HTTP traffic, follow these steps:1. Click Start, click Run, type Firewall.cpl, and then click OK.
2. On the Exceptions tab, click Add Port.
3. In the Name box, type HTTP. In the Port box, type 80.
Note This procedure enables HTTP traffic. If you also require HTTPS traffic for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) sites, repeat these steps, but type HTTPS in the Name box, and then type 443 in the Port box.
Method 2: Configure network settings
To configure network settings, follow these steps:1. Click Start, click Run, type Firewall.cpl, and then click OK.
2. On the Advanced tab under Network Connection Settings, click your network connection, and then click Settings.
3. On the Services tab, click Web Server (HTTP), and then click OK.
Note If you must also enable HTTPS traffic for Secure Socket Layer (SSL) sites, click both Secure Web Server (HTTPS) and Web Server (HTTP).
Method 2 worked great for me :) .. hope this helps everyone
