Hello,

I'd like to use HellaDroid on my Nexus One but so far I've been
unsuccessful in establishing a connection.

I have had HellaNZB configured and running locally for some time and
it works as expected. However when I attempt a remote connection with
HellaDroid I get the message "Server appears to be offline".

It seems that I can access HellaNZB remotely through a web browser:

http://hellanzb:mypassword@mypublic_host:8760

So I assume my port forwarding and authentication credentials are
valid.

Following is the relevant config from my /etc/hellanzb.conf

Am I doing something wrong with the remote configuration in
hellanzb.conf?

--
# Hostname for the XMLRPC client to connect to. By default, localhost
Hellanzb.XMLRPC_SERVER = 'localhost'

# IP address on which the XMLRPC Server will be binded to.
# Type '0.0.0.0' for any interfaces, '127.0.0.1' will disable remote
access
Hellanzb.XMLRPC_SERVER_BIND = '0.0.0.0'

# Port number the XML RPC server will listen on, and the client will
connect to.
# Set to 'None' (without the quotes!) for no XML RPC server
Hellanzb.XMLRPC_PORT = 8760

# Password for the XML RPC server. You might probably never use this,
but the
# command line XML RPC calls do -- it should definitely be changed
from its
# default value. The XML RPC username is hardcoded as 'hellanzb' --
E.g. URL:
# http://hellanzb:changeme@localhost:8760
Hellanzb.XMLRPC_PASSWORD = 'password'

1. Make sure all settings in hellanzb.conf coincides with HellaDroid
(password, and port)
2. Make sure you have http:// in your address/url in HellaDroid (wont
work without it)
3. Make sure you've enabled port forwarding in your router (if you
have one)

(and im sorry you got this reply twice, but i used the wrong answer
button in this post :P)

Got it working....

There was a white space at the end of my server name in HellaDroid,
after removing that I was able to queue and NZB and it started
downloading.

Thanks for your response.
