SABnzbd Forums

I can't seem to access sabnzbd from another computer (i get unreachable).  But locally, it works fine.  Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?


Thanks

In the general part of your config, you have a box titled 'Host SABnzbd should listen on.' If you set this to 0.0.0.0 then Sab will listen for your connections on all interfaces.

I think if your trying to get to your sab from the internet it is different, and im sure someone here will point you in the right direction if thats the case. The above should work for local network connections.

And make sure that your firewall software allows incoming connections for SABnzbd.exe and/or the port SABnzbd uses.

I added port 8080 to the firewall and i still can't access it.  I tried the 0.0.0.0 under host and it still won't access the website.  Just as a note, I am able to ping this Vista machine from the other, so it isn't a networking thing.  Any help with this please.

Can you try it with your firewall switched off to see if that works ?

Don't use 0.0.0.0 with a vista machine if you want to forward the port in your router, it will listen on ipv6 instead of ipv4. You can try accessing it from http://yourpcname:8080/sabnzbd/ if you still want to use 0.0.0.0 as the host.

Or clear the hostname field, and it will listen on your local (ipv4) address. To access it now locally you will need to use your local ip address and not localhost.

Didn't you get a warning in the (local) Web-ui  that you need an IPV6 address if you use 0.0.0.0 on Vista?
