Should I do something on the backend to allow it to connect?

Make sure you're *not* using the --noupnp option when starting mythbackend.

The backend needs an address that your tablet (or whatever) can connect
to. 127.0.0.1 wouldn't work.

You can use the: mythbackend --setverbose upnp command to enable logging.
That may give you a hint about what's going on (or isn't.)

When the connection is initially made, you should see the following in
the backend's log. I chopped off the beginning of the messages:

   ExtractMethodFromURL(end) : GetHostName : /Myth
   ServiceHost::ProcessRequest: GetHostName : GET /Myth/GetHostName HTTP/1.1
   HTTPRequest::SendResponse(xml/html) () :200 OK -> 192.168.10.139: 4
   ExtractMethodFromURL(end) : GetRecordedList : /Dvr
   ServiceHost::ProcessRequest: GetRecordedList : GET /Dvr/GetRecordedList HTTP/1.1
   ExtractMethodFromURL(end) : GetUpcomingList : /Dvr
   ServiceHost::ProcessRequest: GetUpcomingList : GET /Dvr/GetUpcomingList?ShowAll=false HTTP/1.1
   ExtractMethodFromURL(end) : GetProgramGuide : /Guide
   ServiceHost::ProcessRequest: GetProgramGuide : GET /Guide/GetProgramGuide?StartTime=2012-10-18T05%3A00%3A00&EndTime=2012-10...

Wireshark (running on the backend) is a nice tool for testing what protocol is being exchanged.
