Unable to access sabnzbd from another PC on my network

Post by Touchdown »

I'm having a problem accessing SABnzbd from another PC on my network.

A little background:

I had SABnzbd up and running fine on a Windows 7 machine and was able to access it just fine from other PC's on my network. Recently purchased a box and installed Windows Home Server 2011 on it. I have installed SABnzbd on it and I'm able to access the web GUI just fine from the WHS box. However, I'm unable to access it from a variety of different machines on my network now.

A few things I've checked....

*Verified that the proper ports are forwarded in my router settings
*Tried different ports, 8080 and 8085 to no avail
*Tried server settings in sabnzbd of 0.0.0.0 as well as the local IP address

I'm stumped why I can access it fine from the Windows Home Server 2011 box, however not from any other machine on the network.

Thoughts?

Did you check WHS's software firewall? It's probably blocking SABnzbd.
Unless you want external (internet) access to SABnzbd, do not setup port-forwarding!

That was it! Allowed access to that port on the WIndows Home Server Firewall and we're all good now! Thanks for your help
