ooook Im pretty technical....And Its working on my first try...Ok So now I have a working server and winamp....
...Btw Im only 15

[Evil Lu]

Well done on being 15. Now what happens?

[Sense]

Evil lou everything on your guide is going as planned....

I think I made A mistake And now Im going back to fix it...

[Evil Lu]

Why can't anyone read my name?

[Sense]

Lol First thing that comes to mind is lou...... Not exactly lu..Meh....Well anyways...Should the server remain unnamed?
Or should I name it

[Nick@ss]

name it or you will get an error

[Evil Lu]

Well what do you think? You see all these people made all these guides which you're supposedly following. I wonder which one said "DO NOT NAME YOUR SERVER"?
*ponders*

[Sense]

Can I use special chars (like spaces and commas and dashes)

[Sense]

Rofl No need for sarcasm....

[Evil Lu]

You might need a special chair. I dunno, test it and see if you get an error. Better thought, just fill in all your goddamn crap that you're told to before streaming and come back if it does break.
*has a broken hand and cannot spoonfeed this week*

[Sense]

Now that I have a server How do I know its there..


AND how can other people listen to My broadcast .......I dont UNDERSTAND

[Nick@ss]

all in lu's tutorial dood..

The address that you give to your listeners is your external IP number, this is found by visiting whatismyip.com. You will give out your address as http://yourip:8000/listen.pls


dont forget the search button as you are not the first or last to ask..

[Sense]

When I do that It says page not found....

And how do I start broadcasting

[Nick@ss]
