ShoutCast server wont work to computers on the internet

[danielj]

Hello,

I have a shoutcast server it is set up with all the basic settings but i cant get other people to conect to it. I can broadcast to it and listen to it though my network but say if I left it broadcasting I wouldnt be able to listen to it does any one know how to sort this out. My operating system is Windows XP Professional. I would also like to hook it up to a website soon but I would like to get it working under my IP address first.


Thanks for your help
Daniel

OK I have had an improvement now I can get people to here me Djing now but I cant other people to conect to the server now to DJ but I can get people to listen.

Server IP : 88.25.136.255
Port: 8000
Password: **** (I have changed it for now)

But if I DJ it works fine people can lisen and evey thing now because I changed my ruter settings but now I cant get people to conect to DJ and seams it is going on a site its not good really if only me can DJ. I have keeped all settings as simple as posibe.


Thanks
Daniel

The best thing to check is 'port forwarding' in your router to allow shoutcast requests in and your stream to go out. If you set shoutcast stream at 8000 you will have to open 8001 as well.

Another suggestion is use a free service like no-ip.com to map a domain name to your pc so that even if your ip address changes the domain name will still work. You can get cool names like MYCOOLMUSIC.SERVEMP3.COM etc.

That way you can tell your friends to go to the domain name and it will always work vs. an ip address that always changes.
