SABnzbd Forums

So all of a sudden LAN access started working again. Nothing changed, but now I’m able to reach SABnzbd from any device on my home network. I still think it was caused by the Windows update, but relieved that it was temporary.

So another Windows update, another problem connecting to SABnzbd from iOS and Android devices on the local network. Remote access is working fine from other Windows computers, as is integration with NZB.su. I am also able to connect to other Windows services on the same machine from my Android phone and iPad e.g. Plex.

Again, the problem started with a Windows Update. Last time LAN access just started working again after a few hours. This time it's been a couple of days of getting a connection time out error on those devices.

I know that this is a tough one to reproduce, and therefore hard to fix. Is there some way of determining why the requests from iOS and Android devices are being refused but other Windows clients are working?

Usually a restart of Windows does the trick.

Ok, that fixed it this time on the iPad. Still having a problem from Android.

I did try rebooting when I first encountered the problem but it didn't work then. Maybe a combination of waiting for DNS cache to expire and a reboot??

But glad that it's partly working now. I'll report back on the status of the Android device.

Spoke too soon. It stopped working on both devices (iPad and Android phone). I rebooted Windows again and now it’s working on the phone but not on the iPad.

Still hoping someone can suggest some logging or debugging techniques so I can try to figure out what’s going on.

UPDATE:
I also rebooted the modem and now I'm able to access SABnzbd from all devices. Sorry, should have tried that before.

I am having a similar issue.
I have an
Ubuntu server that I am trying to run the SABnzbd service. I changed the host IP in the config file to 0.0.0.0
And the result is "The site can't be reached" What am I doing wrong?

Can you tell 3 things you tried to analyze this?

I completed the install of sabnzbdplus through CLI.
Then I went into the config file via nano.
Changed the host address from a local IP to 0.0.0.0
Changed the port to 8080.
And I still get an error from another computer trying to access sab with the local ip/port.
I also stopped and started sab to clean things out.

192.168.x.xx/8080 is wrong.

Use 192.168.x.xx:8080

Thank you. Sorry I should have responded with 192.168.x.xx:8080.
That internal IP with the port 8080 doesn't work as well. I'm still receiving the "The site can't be reached" message when I enter in the internal IP with port 8080.

Aha.
So can you tell 3 things you tried to analyze / solve this?

Not solved unfortunately. I have had SAB running as service before... had to remove then reinstall. I tried to install NZBget... same problem.

Is the device hosting SABnzbd on your LAN running a firewall?

Yes.
