SABnzbd Forums

Hi,

I have a Nokia 5800 XM mobile phone, and have tried both Opera Mini and the Nokia Browser, but when I try to surf to http://myserver:8080/sabnzbd/m, I only get the message that this site cannot be reached. Of course, I connect using my WLAN (not UMTS or something else of course). I have a laptop using the same WLAN connection, which can display the site of course, so I guess it is some problem with the phone itself, maybe the authentication at the webinterface is not supported?

Do you have any idea what else I could try to make that work on my phone?

It's likely that the phone doesn't how to resolve local DNS addresses.
Try the numerical IP of your server instead.

Thanks, it looks like Symbian cannot access the local DNS correctly, using the IP address works. I wonder if there is any setting in my router's DNS or in the config of Symbian to make DNS lookup work correctly, but it works at least, since my server has a static IP address.

DNS? I think your computer connects based on the Windows-name and thus SMB/Netbios-names, not DNS. You can't expect a phone to handle SMB/Netbios-names (unless you have a Microsoft phone  :P )

No, http traffic uses DNS names, not SMB/Netbios.

The SAB wizard shows a few URLs via which SAB is accessible, and I'm quite sure the Netbios-name is among them ...
