It may be because the IP 127.0.0.1 - localhost may not listen by computer

Check with below command in command prompt:

netsh http show iplisten

It should return the 127.0.0.1.

If it is not there then add it to using below command:

netsh http add iplisten 127.0.0.1

If the IP address is successfully added, you receive the following message: IP address successfully added.

Please follow these steps to solve this issue:

1. Get currently listed IP:

netsh http show iplisten (this will list just one IP of your machine)

2. Delete old IP with this command:

netsh http delete iplisten ipaddress=11.22.33.44

(where 11.22.33.44 is the IP received from #1)

3. Next, set the service UP to listen to all the IPs:

netsh http add iplisten ipaddress=0.0.0.0

(if you dont want to open for all IPs then just pass single IP)

4. To make these changes reflected, Restart IIS using:

iisreset
