Do you mean it works now?

Also I have turned off software called little snitch which asks if want to allow sites etc. Checked firewall and nothing

my xennews worked as a friend of mine tried my details using his sabnzdb, but he has a PC and no problems whereas something seems to be stopping my sabnzbd linking to my xennews

Strange. I don't understand what is going on. So some trial-n-error aka analys: Can you fill out these servers (which are the IP-addresses for xennews), with your xennews credentials:

sorry very new to this

You can only find out if you can get a terminal login on your box running SABnzbd. I don't know if you can do that. If so, type this on the terminal prompt:
