My no-ip address ip is not used for SABnzbd Host entry

When I enter my "SABnzbd Host" address with my no-ip address (xxxxxx.ddns.net)
most of the time it uses a different ip address than my public no-ip address.

Sometimes it works but most of the time it does not.

So when I enter my no-ip address xxxxxx.ddns.net for my
"SABnzbd Host" address under Config/General most of the time it
does not use my public ip.
It uses a different ip than my public one.

Mac 10.10.3 ; SABnzbd 0.7.20

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks ... Ken

Why would you want to do that?

Normal options for "SABnzbd Host":
127.0.0.1 or localhost: only listen to connections from PC/Mac
0.0.0.0 (or :: ): also accept connections from LAN, and - if reachable from Internet - from Internet

Filling out a specific IP address (RFC1918 or public) only binds to that address, and only if the operating system has that address on one of it's interfaces. If you're behind NAT, your Mac won't know the public ddns address, and it can't bind to that address.

0.0.0.0 didn't work but :: works great.

THANKS AGAIN!!!!!
