I have installed the shoutcast server and winamp.

And whenever the server connects the message is as follows:

Cannot see your station/computer (IP: 62.255.64.5:8000) from the Internet, disable Internet Sharing/NAT/firewall/ISP cache (Connection refused))

I have a belkin router and what do i do to open the port ... so that i can start broadcasting ?

Its best to have a read through the documentation/help file for your Router or contact support/user forum for the product to find out how to forward ports for web access.
All the info is out there, you just got to know where to look :)

yes bro i did that and in the advanced tab it comes up with two options, 'windows firewall' and option on internet connection sharing. I have windows xp.. so do u know how to allow the port to be opened for windows xp on a belkin router.

[Nick@ss]

ok you dont need to run xp firewall if you have a router as it is a hardware firewall so you can disable it

to forward the ports you need to goto your router config page and forward 8000-8001 to your internal ip

i think the belkin config page is 192.168.2.1 if not look in your manual or try www.portforward.com and find out how to do it,

maybe ask someone thats ok on a pc to give you a hand

this may be a bit more help for ya on setting it all up

that is something you could also do, READ THE FAQ, your questions wasn't exactly new !!!

so if you want to do something for another you are welcome but if you only post stupid remark feel free to do as DJ Amp told you in another post.
