Thanks to everyone who has responded. I will do some testing once the firewall port is adjusted.

It is not restricted to localhost. The operating system may be blocking external traffic. Most operating systems have a built-in firewall that will block all external connections to Solr's listening port by default. Windows has such a firewall. Consult Microsoft documentation for how to configure their firewall. Once you have external network access allowed, it's up to you to properly configure your DNS servers so the domain name resolves correctly. Thanks, Shawn
