Can't remotely login from web to Mac, but can to PC.

I'm trying to login remotely from outside my local network to SABnzbd 0.6.15 on my Mac (10.7.4) using Safari on my iPhone and every time I try it says it cannot connect to the server.
If I forward the ports on my router to my Windows 7 PC running SABnzbd 0.6.9 my iPhone can connect just fine.
Is there a problem with the Mac version not having this capability? Or is it a bug? Or probably just my settings somewhere?

Are you using a firewall on the Mac?
What is the host address in Config->General on the SABnzbd running on the Mac?

First step: Can you access the Mac from your PC (using the local address, probably 192.168.x.y)

I don't have a third party firewall installed. This is my first experience with Mac OSX so I don't know if there's a built in firewall like in Windows that I need to configure.

It says "localhost".

On my PC I did Start>Run>\\192.168.1.109 and it couldn't find my Mac. I double checked the ip just to make sure. I was able to connect to another Win7 pc on using this method.

It should say 0.0.0.0. So change it, restart SABnzbd, and try again.

I think that won't work. You have to type the address in your webbrowser, so
http://192.168.1.109:8080/

This fixed it. Thank you!
