Can't access/start SABnzbd on FreeNAS (in ESXi)

Hi, I have a problem using the following setup:

Version: 0.7.18
OS: FreeNAS running as a VM in ESXi 5.5
Install-type: NAS package
Skin (if applicable): n/a
Firewall Software: none, built in router
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? no, worked fine on another server with FreeNAS, although that was not using ESXi.

The problem is that I can't seem to access the GUI. And FreeNAS says the plugin is running, but if I go to the shell and execute "nc localhost 8080" I get no response.
Also the IP it gave itself (diffrent one than FreeNAS runs on, thought that was quite weird) does not appear in my DHPC server.

Thanks in advance.

Your SABnzbd is only listening to 'localhost', which you can not access it from another machine or your LAN.

There are a few ways to change that:
- start a webbrowser on FreenNAS, and go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/, and change Listening Host to 0.0.0.0, Save and restart
- in the file sabnzbd.ini
- starting sabnzbd from the command line with option -s 0.0.0.0
