Sab won't start if hostname is anything othe then localhost

Post by sethrd »

Hey guys. Been using Sab for a while now. Just got a new system (Quad core Phenom, 8GB RAM, 1TB hard drive, blu ray, nvidia 8500 GT with HDMI out) and put WinXP 64 on here. Got sab installed, and when I went to configure it, changed my host to what I always use, but for some reason, Sab won't start. I mean, I can see it in the process list in Task Manager, but I can't connect to it at all. It's still set to launch browser on startup, but it never does. It's as if sab only parses so much of the config file. Anyone got any ideas? I start downloads when I'm at work, and have my laptop setup to connect to this machine for when I'm away from home, and not being able to connect remotely is kind of a pain.

I get the error when trying to connect as if no service is running (connection failed), not the connection rejected error if that helps at all.
