Sounds simple, but take a look at your IE LAN Settings - make sure the box for "Use a proxy server for your LAN...." is unchecked. This has resolved issues when Port 6080 in/outbound rules, Web Adaptor, IIS and other troubleshooting efforts have failed.

You need to Create a New Role in FireWall on Server Machine. Add both Inbound Rule and OutBound Rule. add port 6080

Did that, but didn't resolve the issue - LAN settings ultimately worked for me....
