SHOUTcast over a LAN?

[blicero]

I have a couple questions regarding broadcasting over a lan.


1) can it be done? can you broadcast to other computers across a LAN without using an internet connection?

2) my concern is that i want to broadcast from within a LAN to listeners who are in the same LAN without using any internet bandwidth. is this possible?

thank you. -dan

1 - yes , just open config file from the dnas and keep it private and don't forward your ports in the router config.

2- what internet bandwidth?? if you are not streaming outside of the lan you are only using the lan and not internet.

thanks a lot!

actually, what do you mean by "open config file from the dnas and keep it private and don't forward your ports in the router config?"

i don't have access to the router config/port forwarding.

if i only give the ip to people within the LAN, that should do it right? or will it still go across the web?

if you are on a lan there's got to be a router that connects those computers to the internet. as long as you don't open ports in that router your broadcast isn't going to leave the lan.
