[wasntme]

cheers for that evil Lu guess i couldnt see it..

[wasntme]

nothing mentioned is working as i still get the error any help would be good as i need to get it sorted thanks in advance

[Evil Lu]

What have you tried so far? It's hard to offer help without knowing the full picture.
Things to know that would help are, operating system, software firewall, computer security software, router, ISP, etc

[wasntme]

ok ive followed how to open the ports but as my ip changes everytime i reboot my pc the port forwarding isnt working is there away round this thanks.

[Evil Lu]

You're doing it wrong then. You don't forward your external IP to your router. You need to do more thorough reading to be able to understand.
Look very carefully through my NAK Error fix link.

ive read through it about 50 times now and i still cant see were i am going wrong. could you please explain to me were or what i am doing wrong thanks.do i need to add this ip in the host ip bit 127.0.0.1

[wasntme]

ok i figured out were i was going wrong but now i have a diff problem only people on my network can tune in to my radio is there something i am not doing?

[wasntme]

can anyone help please..

[Evil Lu]

Your ports aren't forwarded correctly.
Your Shoutcast works, what is happening now is not a Shoutcast problem.
You have to learn about your router and how to set a static ip to your computer.
http://www.portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm for a static IP
http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm for your router.

[wasntme]

ive done both of the above and now i dont get no error its just only people on my network can tune in to my station.

[Evil Lu]

Have you set it to public in the yellowpages button on the output tab of the DSP?

[wasntme]

yes ive set it to public.

[Evil Lu]

Can we see what your DNAS log says now?

[wasntme]

yes sure it says this

<09/15/05@23:23:49> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com added me successfully
<09/15/05@23:26:49> [yp_tch] yp.shoutcast.com touched!

[Evil Lu]

It's strange that it's not getting outside of the network. What's your stream link? Are you sure your external IP hasn't changed again?
Sorry for all the seemingly obvious questions.

[wasntme]

stream link?(mono i think) i know my external ip hasnt changed cos people on my network can connect.and np about the questions i am glad of the help

[Evil Lu]

www.whatismyip.com go there, come back, give me that ip ;)

[wasntme]

ok here is my ip 172.212.67.106

[Evil Lu]

Yes you can get out :D
I am concerned that your bitrate is too high. http://testmy.net to check your upload speed. On a 2mbit line here I can only stream to about 8 people on 24kbps. Otherwise, you're fine!

/edit link to give people outside of your network is http://172.212.67.106:8000/listen.pls you can drop the listen.pls if they're not using Winamp.

[wasntme]

ok thanks that works guess i was giving people the wrong url to tune in...i still have a small problem though. ive lowered the kbps but people are saying the sounds is stopping and starting...

[wasntme]

nevermind its sorted now...thanks again for your help Evil Lu
