SABnzbd Forums

Hi there, yesterday I've set up a new machine running Windows 7 x86 RTM. After installing and configuring the latest SABnzbd+, I noticed that the webinterface only is accessible locally on the machine, I can't access with other machines in my LAN or with forwarded ports.
SABnzbd is running on a machine with the IP-adress 192.168.1.3, so I can't access with http://192.168.1.3:8080/sabnzbd from other machines.
I have no firewall activated, the firewall-service from Windows is deactivated.
Can anybody help me?

Tell SABnzbd to use 0.0.0.0 as IP address, this will make it listen on all available connections.
(Restart after chanhing it in Config->General).

Thanks for this tip, but it's still the same

EDIT: Additionally this warning occured: 2009-10-09 10:49:53,516 WARNING Please be aware the 0.0.0.0 hostname will need an IPv6 address for external access

Have you tried IPV6 addresses.
Since Vista, Windows gives priority to IPV6.
Have you tried the 192.168.1.3:8080 address from the PC (running SABnzbd) itself?
It does work with localhost:8080 ?

http://192.168.1.3:8080/sabnzbd/ DOESN'T work at the PC where SABnzbd is running on. I didn't try IPv6 yet, will try this later.

In that case tell SABnzbd explicitly to use 192.168.1.3.
If that doesn't work then either there's something wrong with the OS or the IP address isn't 192.168.1.3.

How do you access the SABnzbd web-ui on the PC?

I've changed the listening IP to 192.168.1.3 and now the web-ui is accessible from everywhere, including WAN via portforwarding. Thank you very much and greetings from germany!

I suspect that Win7 was actually listening to an IPV6 address.
We haven't really figured out all subtleties of Vista/Win7 IP handling.

On most systems SABnzbd happily picks IPV4 addresses as it should for 99.99% of systems,
but on some it manages to choose an IPV6 address.

Well I disabled the IPv6-Service on Windows7 permantently, is SABnzb anyhow able to pick an IPv6 adress?

I shouldn't think so.
Possibly it's the disabling itself.
We haven't really dug into this sufficiently.

Anyway, I glad to hear that it works now.

In my experience default Windows 7 is actually better at handling 0.0.0.0 than Vista and does not use IPv6 at all (since it should only listen on all ipv4 interfaces). :: is the ipv6 alternative to 0.0.0.0 to listen on all ipv6 addresses. So I am not sure what has gone on here.

Also, I would recommend not using your fixed IP as the host under config>general, as if your ip changes sabnzbd will stop working. Leave the box blank, and it automatically looks up your local ip address at startup.

My IP won't change since I only use fixed IP-Adresses without DHCP in my LAN. Anyway thanks for the tipp!
