If you can't ping the address, it's unlikely that you will be able to connect to it over HTTP/HTTPS.
In Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security, did you try settings all the profiles so Inbound Connections that do not match a rule are allowed when testing? You may have Domain/Private/Public or Private/Public depending on the Windows variant.
What is the IP address on your MacOS machine? In the same subnet as your Windows machine? Port forwarding should not matter since to use a 192.168 private address (see RFC-1918 for the definition of private network blocks), you would need to be connected to the same router. If you are trying to connect from outside your local network, then you would need to start worrying about port forwarding and what external IP your router is using.
