Can't connect to web client from within network

I have just installed SABnzbd to Windows Home Server 2011 and I am able to open it up on the server itself. If I try to connect to the web client from another computer within my network I cannot get it to come up though. Whenever I try it Firefox comes back saying it timed out.

I have tried ports 8080 and 8106 and have tried changing the SABnzbd Host to 0.0.0.0, blank, and 192.168.0.2 (the server's IP)... nothing works. I have tried forwarding the ports on my router to the server's IP (which may not be the correct way to do it, I'm not sure.) I have added the ports to the servers firewall to be allowed.

Any help appreciated, thank you.

Did you restart SABnzbd after changing Host and/or Port?
What if you turn off the firewall on your WHS?
From your PC, can you ping 192.168.0.2?

Yes I restarted everytime I made a change. Yes I can ping it.

I just turned off the firewall and now I can access it. I must have added the port wrong to the firewall then? I obviously don't want to leave it turned off.

Thank you for the quick response.

I got it, figured out where I properly allow a program to the firewall and now it works. Thank you sander!
