New Splunk Web Installation Not Showing Login Fields

I have just installed Splunk for the first time using the Linux RPM (splunk-5.0.3-163460-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm).

Everything works exactly as all the manuals and tutorials suggest, until I try to load the Splunk Web interface; when I try to connect to the web interface I get no login fields.

My web_service.log doesn't show anything interesting:

2013-05-30 10:21:23,564 INFO    [51a760638f1de5990] decorators:323 - require_login - no splunkd sessionKey variable set; cherrypy_session=18eef8c63da5b41278511fe6665961db00bcc0eb request_path=/en-US/
2013-05-30 10:21:23,564 INFO    [51a760638f1de5990] decorators:344 - require_login - redirecting to login

Nor does my splunkd_access.log:

127.0.0.1 - - [30/May/2013:10:19:17.000 -0400] "GET /services/server/info HTTP/1.1" 200 4333 - - - 2ms
127.0.0.1 - - [30/May/2013:10:21:23.712 -0400] "GET /services/server/info HTTP/1.1" 200 4333 - - - 2ms

I've tried this using Chrome on Windows and OS X, Safari, and Internet Explorer. I have confirmed that Javascript and Cookies are enabled on all tested browsers.

Quite simply, I'm unable to even start working with splunk.

Help?

Update after troubleshooting:

If I use ssh to forward port 8000 (ssh -L 8000:127.0.0.1:8000 splunk) I am able to connect to localhost:8000 and am prompted with username and password fields. Attempts to connect from outside the system remain unsuccessful.

I'm experiencing the same issue, but only when I'm attempting to access the UI over VPN. On my local network, it seems to work fine.
