I'm sure that you've seen this before, but:

Two (or less) easy steps:
1. If you have a firewall, open the necessary port(s).
2. If you have a router, configure it to forward the necessary port(s) to the DNAS machine.

Check out the Sticky post titled:

Scroll down a bit and look for the section titled:
DNAS Stuff -> Errors -> Fixing [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave extended error (Cannot see your station/computer (IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx) from the Internet, disable NAT/firewall/ISP cache (Connection timed out)

Are the necessary ports open in your firewall and are they being forwarded to the DNAS machine?

i've gone into the GUI.config file and changed what needed to be changed. i put the encoder 2, because 1 has a bug. i've tried ports 8000-8005, at no avail.

i've also contacted comcast, on-line, and asked if they blocked ports. the man said they don't block them, but the surprising part was that he asked me what was a port!!

i've gone to my network connections, and added services to my firewall. (adding for ports 8000 and 8001)

i've went over the net, looking for any help, but nothing.

anything i've missed let me know. i appreciate your help.
