Have you edited your MythWeb configuration file for apache (e.g.
/etc/apache2/conf-available/mythweb.conf)?

On a Debian system using packages from deb-multimedia.org without
apache authentication, the default installation includes the following
access controls:

    <Directory "/usr/share/mythtv/mythweb" >
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1
        Satisfy any
        ...
        ...
    </Directory>

You need to add your local subnet as another "Allow from" entry to
grant access to machines on your local network.

Cheers,
Nick
