Can't access web interface locally [SOLVED]

[tromboneamafone]

I currently have Sabnzbd, Sickbeard, and Couch Potato setup on a Windows
7 box with no issues. I am setting up the same configuration on a
Windows 8.1 box. I have setup Sabnzbd and Sickbeard on the new 8.1 box,
however, I can't get the web interface to pull up for either Sabnzbd or
Sickbeard on any machine except for the 8.1 box. I have tried changing
the default address from 0.0.0.0 to the IP address of the machine, and
I have also tried changing it to blank in Sabnzbd, but I still can't access
the web interface from any other local machines. I am not sure if there
are any firewall settings I may need to change to allow the web interface
to work. What to do?

You need to tell your firewall that SABnzbd and SickBeard
are allowed to listen on their ports.

I am not sure if I have my firewall setup correctly, however, when I run netstat, I can see that i am listening to 0.0.0.0:8080 for sab and 0.0.0.0:8081 for Sickbeard on TCP. I opened the ports up on UDP, but they are not showing up in netstat. If the web interface uses TCP, I am not sure why I still can't connect.

Also, I tried just turning the firewall off completely and I still cant access the web interface locally.

Try the real internal IP of your system instead.
On some systems 0.0.0.0 doesn't always resolve properly.
BTW: firewalls like that of Windows have to be told explicitly
that an EXE file is permitted access on a specific port.

When I set the application .exe with the rule for the port, the web interfaces became accessible! Thanks SO much.
