Also when i enter my ip (static - http://220.240.117.210:8000/) as shoutcast address i get a "cannot find server" error

If i put my lan ip address (192.168.1.101) as shoutcast address http://192.168.1.101:8000 - i get the shoutcast page fine - obviously wouldt work for anyone outside my lan


my radio toolbox port scanner gives:

220.240.117.210:8000 is Closed
Reason Given: Connection refused

ive forwarded ports, and opened and.. blah!! what else to do? it must be somewhere in the routing?

- i cant view my own shoutcast page using external router ip?

- my friend says the page opens but the listen link gives an error "invalid rescource"

(confused) - thanks for help :)

Your ports are still not open. check them here (http://www.radiotoolbox.com/online_tools/cantheygetin.php)

The log above is normal, it is the SHOUTcast Directory checking you out and then logging off.

yay! thanks



i reinstalled windows - i dont know if this helped at all, my old windows xp had serious networking issues

after i put new windows i re-setup my router with ports forwarded and it all works perfectly :)

handy link, thanks!
