Well your server is up but there is no source. Here's the current entries from your Song History to prove outside people can connect.

dont get me wrong
 

I love that you posted that... but what does it mean? did you manage to connect? is the problem with my pls file? do i have a problem appart from nobody can cannect? did you link from the website ? or from some where else? sorry but i am lost here... if you connected no problem and the people who are 100 yards from me and on the same bandwidth cant connect im not sure what the problem is..... please help.... lol

the connections that are liseted there are ... erm.... me

It means that I was able to see you have the DNAS up and therefore there is nothing that is preventing users from connecting. At the time I connected you were not providing the DNAS with audio therefore there was nothing for me to listen to. I connected by getting your IP from the forum software and then assumed you were on port 8000 which you were. I just took a look at the link on your website and it does not point to the same IP I used and therefore that appears to be the cause of your problems. Try using: http://80.195.17.116:8000/listen.pls and see if that works for the others.

excellent. Thankyou... i have changed the ip in the pls file on the website.... but winamp and the plugin say connected... and when i connect from shoutcast i can hear it... ok wait i will change the ip in the shoutcast... would you try it again for me please?

The only thing you need to change is the link on the website.

Tom

website link has been changed... but you said i had no source? yet winamp and the shoutcast both have a level. and seem to be working here.... did you try it again to see if there was sound? if not will you?

It is all working as it should now (connected via the website link).

Tom

Thankyou... appreciate that... =0)
