freenas+sabnzbd getting invalid sever

[nahtanoD]

i have freenas setup with sabnzbd+ and when ever i try to add a server it tells me invalid server, i've double checked for spaces in the server address but there isnt any, i'll use the same info in grabit and it finds the server just fine.

is there a port or something i need to forward to freenas?

Have you tried to telnet to the server from a NAS shell?
telnet server-name 119

What does this do?

Port-forwarding is only required if you want to expose SABnzbd's Web-UI to
the outside world.

how do you telnet from a nas shell?

[shypike]

telnet is a utility that may or may not be installed.
In a command shell, just type

Code: Select all

telnet server-name 119

Hello, I suspect you need to fill in the dns in freenas-web-gui or use dhcp. If you don't know the right ip; try filling in the router's ip (that's usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1).

edit. you can test if you have a dns problem by doing the following.

in command-promt from any computer type ping yournewsserver (e.g. reader-1.xsnews.nl) ... you'll see the ip number of the news-server...
next fill-in this ip-number in the 'server' -field of sabnzbd.

if that did the trick you def. have a dns-issue...
