Host question

Post by daniel_owen_uk »

I have my sabnzbd installed on my fileserver.

Host is set to be 192.168.1.1 and works fine on LAN

Dynamic dns is enabled on router and router forwards port to LAN address, so www.mysabaddress.com works fine.  The problem is I have a few apps on my phone and iPad that I want to use sab on, if I set the LAN address then it works on LAN but not when out and about, if I set dyndns address it works outside LAN but not when on LAN.

How can I get one address to work for both?

So from a PC on your LAN, you neither can access www.yoursabaddress.com?

I would say that's a problem in your modem/router that is doing port forwarding; the modem/router should 'bend' the traffic back into your LAN. The modems I've used (Speedtouch and Zyxel) did exactly that.

So can you check your modem again? Firmware-upgrade? Additional setting? Turn modem-firewall off?

I have recently changed router and both my sky netgear router and my bt hh3 exhibit the same behaviour.

Is www.yoursabaddress.com being resolved by DNS for the local systems?

And what happens if you access the URL using your public IP address plus port (might be 8080, or something else)?

Yes it is being resolved.

It doesn't connect using the ip.

Reading into it a little I think it is nat loopback that I am after, and I don't think my router supports it

Well, you just need to use two bookmarks for SABnzbd.
Still odd, I have had several routers, but never had this issue.

Unfortunately it's not just bookmarks, it's apps that cause the issues.

But I might just have to live with it.

It's definitely a missing router function.
