Check on your server if XAMPP is actually listening on a port. For example, running the following command:

netstat -n -a -o -p tcp

You should see on the "local address" column an entry listening to the port 80 (or whatever you configured in XAMPP), and see on the "PID" column the process ID of XAMPP (apache), which you can check using the task manager.

If it's there, the problem should be a firewall.

If the PID doesn't match, maybe you have also IIS running or another web server and XAMPP isn't able to use that port for listening.
