Nothing Happens!

[TIAL]

Ok, so i followed all the instructions and set up my router to forward 'shoutcast' on any IP, but when i click connect it just says 'connecting' for a while and then 'not connected' :(
I dont know how to find the long list of status messages that many people post - normally i'd look in it to tell me what the problem was, but i cant find it here.

Thanks in advance ;)

Wrong forum, you need Shoutcast support.

Sit tight for now and one of the mods will move you over.

D'oh!

Im so very sorry!

thank you for flying DrO Airways (moved WaTS -> SCTS)

When you are trying to connect your DSP [WinAMP] to the DNAS server, you want to see both -- the DSP does not give many [useful] messages, but the DNAS is very verbose.

If when you click connect, you do not see this reflected in your DNAS log [or in the GUI display], you have incorrect "connection" info in your DSP.

If both DSP and DNAS are on the same PC, the address should be 127.0.0.1 -- localhost will only work if you have a properly configured HOSTS file. The port is the same number that you can find in the DNAS config file beside PortBase=

[TIAL]

Eek!

OK, so what exactly is it ill need to change

(sorry for being a n00b at this)

[djSpinnerCee]

A picture is worth a thousand....

[TIAL]

I typed that in and it still isnt working :(

[TIAL]

Connecting - Disconnecting - not connected

I changed both the address in the dsp_sc.ini and on the actual Shoutcast programme confiuguration to 127.0.0.1

Do i need to do anything else to forward the signal?

There's no DNAS log

[djSpinnerCee]

You do not edit the DSP_SC.ini -- NEVER! Not no way, Not no how.

You configure the DSP thouugh WinAMP -- ALWAYS!

Your DSP may now be corrupt.

Your DNAS needs to be running of course, and you never put any IP in the sc_serv*.ini, anywhere.

SrcIP=Any, DestIP=Any ALWAYS

[TIAL]

OKaaaay

so what do i edit?

this is all i get!

[djSpinnerCee]

Never touch any of the files you just showed me -- forget you even know about them.

First of all did you see the image I uploaded? That's the WinAMP ShoutCAST DSP, that's how you configure the source -- it is also where you are the DJ and you play MP3s

A ShoutCAST is two (2) programs.

Did you also download and install the server? -- the DNAS -- it would be found in C:\Program Files\SHOUTcast\ not in the WinAMP directory. This application is configured by editing it's config file.

[TIAL]

Aaaah - i only downloaded the plugin, ill go and download both Shoutcast things and re-install everything so im back to square 1.
Ill see if that works - if not ill be back! ;)

(thanks for your help :))

[TIAL]

OK,

now ive reinstalled everything and entered all the relevant information - i type in the password into the shoutcast plugin and it says 'invalid password'. I double chacked, tripple checked and the password was always incorredt (I did change it in the sc_serv.ini)

[TIAL]

in fact when i change the password back to the default, it works fine

the address is still set to 'localhost'

[TIAL]

I pressed the X button rather than killing the server and restarting ;)

[TIAL]

<04/12/05@01:56:38> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave error (nak)
<04/12/05@01:56:38> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave extended error (Cannot see your station/computer (IP: 84.92.46.117:8000) from the Internet, disable Internet Sharing/NAT/firewall/ISP cache (Connection timed out))

What should i do with the router? :(

(sorry it seems like im talking to meself - it helps y'know)

[djSpinnerCee]

Now you can visit the FAQs and all that stuff -- every broadcaster has had this problem and it's pretty easy to fix.

At this time Your ShoutCAST is perfectly setup, leave it alone.

I can't give you a step-by-step for this step -- you have to config your router to do port forwarding -- read your router's manual as well, they explain it best -- look for stuff about "what if I want to run a server?" You have some "learning" to do, but you must.

[TIAL]

Ok, followed all the rules but it still doesnt work
heres the situation in my router:

Sorry if your getting as bored as this as I am :(

[TIAL]

I know this must be annoying - but ive been onto portforward.com and followed all the instructions. I still get the same errors - anyone had this before?

[TIAL]

Everythings sorted, many thanks :)

[djSpinnerCee]

See, taking your time helps :) it only works when you do it the right way.
