Unable to connect to serviio server from Windows

Hi, I have an issue connecting to my serviio server running on Centos from my Windows laptop with serviio console. While the serviio share shows up on my DNLA devices, and can play back videos, music etc, I can't connect to it at all, it just returns saying "Cannot connect to Serviio server, it does not seem to be running. Exiting..." then closes, I have disabled my firewall and still the same, I doubt it would be blocking my outbound ports, and on the server I have the following iptables rules set up:

10 ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:1900 /* Serviio */
11 ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:8895 /* Serviio */
12 ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:23423 /* Serviio */
13 ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:23424 /* Serviio */

I've attached logs, 192.168.0.2 is my laptop I am connecting from, I see messages like:

DEBUG [DiscoverySSDPMessageListener] Received a valid M-SEARCH message for search target urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:InternetGatewayDevice:1 from address /192.168.0.2:56818s

But these don't correlate to me opening the console, any help would be welcome

No I hadn't, thanks zip! You're a star, just in case anyone else has this issue and didn't know you had to set the console to connect to a remote machine (I didn't, don't know if I forgot this or it's new ? ) but:

Go into the install folder of "Serviio Console" then the folder "bin" and edit the "ServiioConsole.exe.vmoptions"-file with Notepad ++, add:
-Dserviio.remoteHost=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
