SABnzbd Forums

I hate to complain, but this is just so user un-friendly. The FAQ/wiki has like five lines on the topic and doesn't go in-depth at all. I've Googled consistently for any other answer, but to no avail.

I have my host on the main SABnzbd machine as 0.0.0.0 and on my other machine I have it as my IP address (96.30.160.177) from whatismyip.com. I have both ports as 8080 in config.

I still can't access SAB from going to http://96.30.160.176:8080/sabnzbd

Ugh.

Do you have a router?
If you do, I'm quite sure that the IP address of your PC is not 96.30.160.177
It's something like 192.168.1.x or 10.0.0.1

Open a command prompt (Press WindowKey-R, then type cmd in the box and press Enter).
You'll see a black box.
Type ipconfig and press Enter.
Look through the output and find an Ip address starting with 192.168 or 10.0

Use that IP address on the other computer.

The 96.30 address is how the rest of the world sees your home network.

My wife's PC is accessed from my pc by http://192.168.0.140:8001/sabnzbd
This doesn't require any port forwarding on the router.

I have port 8001 forwarded in my router to my wifes PC so that I can access it from outside (ie the internet)
I access it by http://96.30.160.176:8001/sabnzbd (to use your external IP address as an example)

Hope this helps

I'm having this problem on my home network.  My setup is as follows:

SABnzbd+ running on Mac Mini, which is running Snow Leopard Server.  IP 192.168.0.5.  Firewall is not running
Web server host set to 0.0.0.0.
Port - 8080

When trying to access from another computer at home, I am using http://192.168.0.5:8080/sabnzbd.

I am able to access other sites hosted on 192.168.0.5

Any thoughts?

Try 192.168.0.5 instead of 0.0.0.0
0.0.0.0 doesn't seem to work in all circumstances.

Hello andybreen,

I was easily able to access my SABnzbd remotely from my iphone.  I set SABnzbd to listen to 0.0.0.0 on port 8080 and that was it.  I did set a username and password for authentication.  also since i'm accessing my SABnzbd from outside my network i had to forward port 8080 in my router to the computer's ip address.  I'm running Ubuntu Linux though.  I dont know if there are any other special steps you need when running on a mac.  it may be helpful to know what version of SABzbd you are using.
