Do you have any remote FE's or only local FE/BE machine? Does your mythtv-setup use the actual IP address of your backend or 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1 is just the shortcut for local host and will not get you to your backend from a remote machine)?

If you have not previously had any remote FE's (ie your IP address in mythtv-setup is 127.0.0.1) you will need to modify your MythTV configuration and MySQL configuration to allow remote access (ie add the real local area network IP address to the config and add appropriate privileges in MySQL). I don't think MythWeb counts in this case because it is controlled by Apache most likely on the local machine.
