Sounds like a port problem.

You could check for (and install) system-config-firewall-base which 
provides a program named 'lokkit'.

Do ystemctl stop firewalld.service and run lokkit.

Lokkit is a very small program allowing you to set/unset ports a lot 
more transparently than using firewall-cmd (which seems to be a badly 
disguised remake of iptables!)

Then restart the firewalld.service
