Can you access sab from another pc on your LAN via lan ip addreess?
Firewall in your modem?

I don't think there is any firewall active on my router. How do I access SAB via another computer with the IP address? I'm on my laptop and I tried http://0.0.0.0 but that didn't work. Is this the IP address I should be trying?

If you don't know the private IP address of your system running SABnzbd, how could setup forwarding?

I'm sorry, I'm just confused about the whole process. The IP address of my system running SABnzbd is 192.168.1.2. When I set up my port mapping, I have set Public/Private TCP port as 8080. It also asks for a private IP address here, which I have set the same as my host machine: 192.168.1.2.

I may not be clear on what you are asking me to do, but I have tried to access http://192.168.1.2 from my laptop and that does not work. Is this the address you are referring to?

You would need to type in http://192.168.1.2:8080/sabnzbd/ to access SAB from other machines on your local network

Ah, okay. That didn't work either. I can't seem to get whatsmyip.org to recognize 8080 as an open port, which must mean that my settings are borked somehow. My SAB is set up to use https if that makes any difference. I've added a second port forwarding setting on my router for port 9090 which is the https port and have everything set up the same way. whatsmyip.org doesn't recognize 8080 or 9090 as open ports.

Before portforwarding out you should get access to SAB sorted on your LAN first.
If you can't access SAB on your LAN you stand no chance of accessing it outside your network.
Try https://192.168.1.2:9090/sabnzbd/

Alright, so to go over my settings again to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong. These are the settings on my host machine:

SABnzbd Host: 0.0.0.0
SABnzbd Port: 8080

HTTPS Port: 9090

From my host machine, I cannot access either http://192.168.1.2:8080/sabnzbd/ nor https://192.168.1.2:9090/sabnzbd/. When I run SAB, the address shows https://localhost:9090/sabnzbd. Likewise, I cannot access either of the two addresses from another machine on the same network.

Are you sure your SAB host machine has an IP of 192.168.1.2 ?

I assume you're using Windows. Bring up a cmd window and type "ipconfig" without the quotes. This will tell you the ip address on the host machine.
If it is 192.168.1.2, then log into SAB and change SABnzbd Host from 0.0.0.0 to 192.168.1.2 You will have to restart SAB, and then try the urls above again.

Perfect! Now Ports 8080 and 9090 show as Open and I can access both sites from both the host and the client. Onto the next step! Which is...?
