I tried every step but it's still not working (think its cause of my router)

[ATBDOGG]

Thank you for the time to take a look at this.

I did every step on http://www.allinternetradio.com/ to make shoutcast work.

I've encountered serveral things I need help with:

1. I disabled my firewall (Norton Internet Security) and the 2 tests seemed to work, when I enable it, they both don't work. Still it gives me the common nak error. Like the website said, I'd better not bother you guys with it but I think my case is different than the others. Do I need to completely uninstall my firewall? Isn't disabling enough?

2. I set the ports open on my Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router BEFSR11 - router and in my firewall but when I have the firewall enabled, both of the tests don't work. And when I have it disabled they both work.

3. My brother said he tried it before and he asked my dad but he vaguely said the router doesn't support such thing :( well it could be that his inexperience in computers/networking caused him to say this but he could be right ofcourse...

4. The router menu on port forwarding looks different than the menu I have. I have the option "open up gaming & application ports" while the menu on portforwarding.com you have to go to advanced menu etc.

So could anyone help me out? Is it really my router?

Sorry for my broken english, english ain't my main language.

Thanks in advance

Some BEFSR11 routers made for use outside the USA block shoutcast. You should talk to thier technical support.

Yes you're right, my router does block it. I connected my PC to the internet without going trough the router and it worked perfectly :D Only....I need, and other members of the house here, so WE need the router.

You probably would say I should go talk to Linksys for that problem but do you guys might have an idea that could solve it?


AHHH! I made a mistake.
The router is BEFSR41 V3. Still it won't work cause of this change, but it is a mistake I made in mentioning.
Does the BEFSR41 V3 also block like the other version of router you mentioned?

Hi :)

You're well on your way to getting this working. If the PC direct works, then you know it's down to the BEFSR41, if that's the only device between the PC and the Internet.

1) On the PC, Start -> Run -> CMD - > IPCONFIG

Get the private IP of the PC

2) On the LinkSys, log in - select "Applications and Gaming"

Create a new App (Call it RADIO) and forward TCP 8000-8001 ro the IP you found in step 1. Save.

Hopefully, that's all it'll take to get you up and running.

I did that but that doesn't seem to do the job.
I forgot to tell that, I used 2 different PC's.

1 is upstairs (mine) and downstairs (family).

Mine has Norton Internet Security on it and it blocks the ports while I made them availible.

I also opened the ports on the router like you said.

Even though I opened up Norton ports it is still blocked, while downstairs Norton is running there too and it doesn't block it.

I never tried direct connect to the internet with my own computer.

Downstairs I get the messages it's actually sending even though the router is still between it, while here, it is connecting and disconnecting all the time (flashing on and off).

I want it to be used on this computer so that my family doesn't have to deal with my music downstairs and can listen to their own playlists.

:(
