I am new to the sabnzbd client, but not to network applications...when I initially installed the client (using the .exe) it came right up...but now (after rebooting and trying everything else) I can' get the SABnzbd app running...I get the usual message: SABnzbd needs a free tcp/ip port for its internal web server. Port 8080 on localhost was tried , but it is not available. Some other software uses the port or SABnzbd is already running. I have checked running netstat and there is nothing running on localhost:8080. I have tried switching ports manually, via http://localhost:8081 (and other ports) and via C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe --server localhost:8081 (which is the correct location for the .exe) but still no go. I checked the logs and it is indeed failing to run...here a snip of the log:

Re: ERROR::Failed to start web-interface (windows xp)
Could you try --server :8080, so that the IP address is used instead of localhost.
--server 0.0.0.0:8080 may help too, but in that case don't point the browser
to localhost but ot the IP address.
An alternative is to start with the -b0 option, so that SABnzbd does not try to lauch
the browser. You will need to start the browser yourself.
This is in case SABnzbd has trouble starting your browser.
