Hiya Icklehamsta

1) "yp added me" means your station information (station name, bitrate, maximum number listeners, current number listeners, currently playing song, ...) has been added to the SHOUTcast yp (yellow pages) directory.

"yp touched" means your station information (station name, bitrate, maximum number listeners, current number listeners, currently playing song, ...) has been updated in the SHOUTcast yp directory.

It can take up to 30 minutes after the first "yp touched" message before your station appears from a SHOUTcast yp search.

2) There has also been some probelms with yp recently also does it give any error in the server windows/gui window?

I got these two errors in the server

[yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave error (nak)
<05/09/04@14:00:01>

[yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave extended error (Cannot see your station/computer (IP: 62.254.128.6:8000) from the Internet, disable Internet Sharing/NAT/firewall/ISP cache (Connection refused))

Does it mean the Firewall's stopping me?

2) 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.

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?

Are you using Windows XP?
That has an internal firewall.
Either configre it or Disable (http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?postid=1131209#post1131209) it.

Does your ISP block ports?

Check out http://www.radiotoolbox.com/cantheygetin and see if the reported information there helps.

Try setting the DNASs YPort to 666.
Check out the DNASs sc_serv.ini/conf configuration file for the section (default shown below):; Yport, port to connect to yp.shoutcast.com on. For people behind caching
; webproxies, change this to the alternate port (666 is what it might be,
; check www.shoutcast.com if you have problems). Otherwise, leave this at 80.
; We're actively working on re-opening port 666, but as of release the only
; working port is port 80.
Yport=80

3) If it is a firewall Check out your router documentation and/or router manufacturer website for port forwarding (aka virtual server) instructions.

Check out your firewall documentation and/or firewall manufacturer website for port opening instructions.

I have also created a guide for dummies on how to broadcast through a nat/router/firwall/isp.
