Can't connect to Apache remotely

Question

I'm using Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I've installed apache via yum install httpd. When I execute curl localhost it responds beatifully with the apache test page. However connecting remotely via web browser(typing the ip address) results in Webpage not available (ERR_CONNECTION_RESET) in Chrome. This is the output from netstat -ntlp:

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      700/sshd       
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:25            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      930/master     
tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN      2010/httpd     
tcp6       0      0 :::22                   :::*                    LISTEN      700/sshd       
tcp6       0      0 ::1:25                  :::*                    LISTEN      930/master

And this is the output of iptables -L

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere             state NEW tcp dpt:http

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Any ideas?

Your netstat output says port 80 is listening on tcp6 not tcp. i.e ipv6 not ipv4 — Siddharth sharma, Jan 19 '16 at 13:03
Well, actually this is just the way it's displayed for apache. It doesn't mean it will accept only ipv6 connections. Still looking for suggestions. — Krzysztof Story, Jan 20 '16 at 08:42
