Help accessing sabnzbd on local network

Hi there,

wondering if someone could help me. After running sabnzbd just fine and being able to access via my iPad just fine after a system crash I have been unable to access sabnzbd on my local network on port 8080. It's running fine on my mac mini host machine running mountain lion.

I understand that perhaps one of the settings in the wizard may have changed not allowing access, but for the life of me I cannot find a way to rerun the wizard to change this setting. It's also not available under any of the sabnzbd settings once installed.

Is there a way to change this after install or to rerun the wizard so as not to loose all my existing settings?

Thanks & Happy New Year!

Ian

You don't need the wizard. The Config->General page is what you need.
You need to set the "host" address to 0.0.0.0

0.0.0.0 is the right setting, although on most system leaving the host field empty will work too.
Did you restart SABnzbd? Otherwise the change won't become effective.
Do you have a software firewall? If so, you need to tell it that SABnzbd can listen on port 8080.
