I'm unable to hit my server from a browser on another machine (it gives a 'connection has timed out' error), although typing http://localhost
or http://my-ip-here
works from the browser within the machine. I can ping and ssh into the server from other machines; it just seems like apache is rejecting the port-80 browser connections.
What can I do to further diagnose/fix this problem? Thanks in advance for your help.
edit: there is no firewall. This is my default site:

also, this and this post seems to verify no firewall:
