Unable to access tomcat from anywhere but localhost, no firewall, curl responds on localhost:8080

I have a fresh minimal installation of CentOS 7 that is running Tomcat on it. Im unable to pull up the site from anywhere via the browser but can see it trying to serve on 8080 from netstat. The service is running properly when I check service tomcat status (also, httpd and JAVA are running properly). I can curl localhost:8080 and get the Tomcat website code as a reply but it won't pull up from another system by going to http://IPADDRESS:8080 . If I run netstat I can see it listening for 8080, but if I run nmap against the private IP it does not show 80 (or 8080) open on it. I don't have firewall/IPTables installed on this system yet so it shouldn't be blocking it. Im able to ping the system just fine from other systems. I can't seem to find the answer to this. I've followed a lot of guides on the installation but can't find the solution. Please let me know if there is something im missing or if you have any clues. Thank you for your time!
