I posted an issue about not being able to get nzbmobile to connect from my Android phone.  I just tried to connecting from another local computer on my network and it times out.  I turned off Windows fw.  Port forwarding is enabled.  I have a static IP setup on my main PC running sabnzbd.

What should I try?

Which host address did you set in SABnzbd?
'localhost' isn't going to work, try 0.0.0.0

Excellent!  Thanks.

That fixed local machines and the nzbmobile app on my Android phone.

Is that in the FAQ or setup anywhere?  I thought it entered localhost automatically.  I sure wish I had seen this days ago before pulling all my hair out

Yes, it's in the SABnzbd setup: the setup will ask if you want to access SABnzbd only locally, or also remotely. To run the startup again, (re)move sabnzbd.ini, and start SABnzbd: the setup will pop up and will ask you about locally/remotely ...

Ok, thanks for the tip.  But so far, just changing localhost to 0.0.0.0. fixed it
