Unable to autostart sab

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anybod could help recommend a way in which I can set sab to auto start if my computer is rebooted. I have added the sab shortcut to me startup folder as suggested in the help file but this only works on my local pc. If I then try to access sab via my url redirect from outside the localhost I get page cannot be displayed.

This is very strange as double clicking the shortcut from the start menu or c: to start sab enables the url redirect access. I dont understand what the difference is between double clicking the file manually and setting the .exe to run automatically?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards
Tylor

Has anybody successfully got sab to autostart while also being able to access from outside the localhost?

Not sure why I am having issues with thisĀ  ???

The most practical way is to set it up in the Task manager.

Update**

Managed to get this working, it seems my issue was 2 fold:

1. My redirec IP sortware was not kicking in straight away after connecting to my vpn.
2. Firefox seems to have a lag over IE (as when the ip software updated my ip - IE picked it up but took another 4 minutes for FF.

Happy to report it's working ok now.
