I am having difficulty getting the mobile web browser working. I've got the port forwarded and it works on the PC that is running awesome miner. But I'm unable to get anything on my phone? Any suggestions would be great.
The first step is to verify if you can access the web interface from a web browser running on the same PC as Awesome Miner is running. If that works fine, it's most likely a firewall issue.

It might not only be port fortwaring configuration on the router, but also that you have the Windows firewall or any other security software running that blocks the connection. Does it work from your mobile if you run in on your local Wifi for example?

Works great on the same PC that runs awesome miner. Can't access through mobile on same wifi network. I'll check windows firewall.

This might help someone...
Port Forwarding not working on Comcast Xfinity DPC3939 router
But I discovered that the port forwarding works as long as you're coming in from OUTSIDE the local network! (For example, turn off phone wifi, use cell data, and it works!) However, I need it to work also on the LAN!
This is called NAT loopback, and is disabled on most consumer routers by default. There are some which allow you to enable NAT loopback so that you can do what you are trying to do. The Comcast gateways do not allow this to be enabled, I don't believe.
