I can only be of so much help compared to many of the others on this
list but I'll give it a shot as I am posting as it.

Tor only operates in TCP, you don't need to set yourself up UDP.

It probably shouldn't be listening on 0.0.0.0. localhost:9001 or
127.0.0.1:9001 are normal unless OS X is different from Windows &
Linux (sorry, not real familiar with Macs).
Changing that may be enough. It would mean editing your torrc file so
the ORListenAddress line is something like
ORListenAddress localhost:9001
-or--not both-
ORListenAddress 127.0.0.1:9001
Also, your ORPort line (default: ORPort 9001) must match the above
lines. E.g., if
ORPort 2394
then
ORListenAddress localhost:2394

Hopefully this helps. If not, it is possible your port forwarding is
setup incorrectly. If your computer gets a different IP from your
router every so often it can cause problems (depending on the router).
I have found it is easier to make sure my Tor server has a static IP
*inside* my network. E.g., my Tor server always has the address
192.168.1.xxx. This is is easy to configure with most routers. If you
need to configure it this way and have not I or someone else on this
list ought to be able to help you.
Other questions for you to answer:
1) Whatever version or Tor/Vidalia are you running?
2) What router do you use?
