Connection Problems

[VxJasonxV]

Hi...I'm just starting work with SHOUTcast...and I'm having a problem that is irritaiting me...
I have updated MS NetShow to most recent version, and I got the latest verion of SHOUTcast available...
Whenever I configure SHOUTcast, I press connect after setting my computers options...It says connecting, then it just disconnects after 1-3 secs. No message, no nothing...just disconnects.
And yes I AM online when attempting to do this, I was listening to a internet stream as I was trying to do it, (but I switched to songs on my computer and tried just in case.)
Anybody having similar problems? Anybody have this problem and can help me out?

wow...I didn't know this was still around!
Well...to help you out...I fixed it, but can't use it anymore (I want DsL back :( ).
Anyways, my problem was that I didn't know I had to act as the master server AND streamer...
So if you haven't already, DL BOTH client and server utilities, start the server (GUI works better for basic service), then set up the client streamer, localhost:8000 as normal...and stream!
