So I had this same problem with WSUS and it turned out that IIS 8 5 was not binding to my ipv4 ip address  but was binding to ipv6 address  when I accessed it via localhost 8580 it would translate it to the ipv6 localhost address  and thus would work  Accessing it via ip was a no go  I had to manually bind the address using netsh  then it worked right away  bloody annoying   Steps    Open command prompt as administrator Type the following    netsh http add iplisten ipaddress  IPADDRESSOFYOURSERVER   that s it  You should get   IP address successfully added  I found the commands here https   serverfault com questions 123796 get-iis-7-5-to-listen-on-ipv6
