Re: Help Please....Pretty Please.
 

Mate...... I have just done waht u said and my adress comes out to be http://127.0.0.1:8000/listen.pls Then i told friends to listen and they cant seem to get in, i have asked 5 people?

Could it be because in my "Nullsoft SHOUTcast Server Monitor" it says

<06/10/03@14:21:52> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave error (nak)
<06/10/03@14:21:52> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave extended error (Cannot see your station/computer (IP: 211.28.96.41:8000) from the Internet, disable Internet Sharing/NAT/firewall/ISP cache (Connection refused))

That is your internal IP address. You need to find your external one.

Yes...open port 8000 on your firewall.

I dont use MS's firewall. Personal opinion, it's a piece of crap. So I cant help you with that.

Try reading some things here...

I'm really sorry for makin this such a drama mate, its just i havent broadcast from shoutcast before.. Could u explain what internal and external adresses are and how i find out my external one.. All i want is my friends to listen to the music im playing.

K...dont worry.

You need to find out your external IP address. The one that tells us who you are. If you go to that site..it should show it to you.

Once you find it out...post it back here and we will go from there.

Dont worry about not knowing all there is to know. It takes time.

detected ip: 211.28.163.26

Host Name: c16913.blktn3.nsw.optusnet.com.au

Request was forwarded through: 211.28.96.40

This is what it says in "Nullsoft SHOUTcast Server Monitor"

How do i get to my firewall. :rolleyes: :(

Like I said...I dont know MS's firewall at all. Thats the first thing I turn off.

But...for future reference...

For people to listen, the address would be http://211.28.163.26:8000/listen.pls

Course...thats depending on whether or not you have a dynamic or static IP address. If it's dynamic, it will always be different and change from hour to hour or day to day.

Ok Mate... My friends have said that doesn't work and I'm beginning to think it could be me.
Just tell me if I have done everything right.
I downloaded the server and installed it. I also got the dsp plug-in so i can be a dj and opened that, chagned the port to 8000. password to changeme, and adress to 127.0.0.1, did all that stuff and now i play a song and connect and it says connected 14212606120 bytes or whateva. Have i done everything right mate? Or have i missed something.

And also in the "nullsoft SHOUTcast Server Monitor" it says


<06/10/03@14:47:44> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave error (nak)
<06/10/03@14:47:44> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave extended error (Cannot see your station/computer (IP: 211.28.96.9:8000) from the Internet, disable Internet Sharing/NAT/firewall/ISP cache (Connection refused))

First...change the password. Make it whatever you want...but not "changeme".

If you are running the SHOUTcast server on your own machine...the address is correct.

What you need to do for listeners to connect is find a way for your firewall to allow access to port 8000. You can disable the firewall by going into your network connections properties and just uncheck "protect my computer and network blah blah blah blah". That will allow your server to accept connections.

I do recommend a firewall. I dont recommend the MS one though.

Other than that...you have done everything correct :)

Thats your MS firewall refusing access.

Ok Mate, thanks for all this help.... So how do i do the firewall thingy, where do i go, Where is network connections?

There should be an icon either in your task tray near your clock...looks like 2 little computers.

or

Go into your control panel and double click Network Connections.

Once that is open, right click on local area connection and select properties. Click the advanced tab. Uncheck the "protect my yadda yadda blah blah blah"

Now...you will be unprotected by the firewall (like you were really protected before :rolleyes:) and check you ip address again and give the link like I posted before.

Im in local connection properties but..... it doesnt have advanced there. all it has is Configure and Install.

What OS? XP? XP Pro or Home?

And when i click on configure it has an advanced button i click on that and then it has ..Value ... With a drop down menu with 10mbps, 10mbps full duplex, 100 mbps, 100mbps full duplex, auto negotiate.

Wait no...the Advanced "tab".

On the top.

Would it have anything to do with because this isnt the main computer in the house. The computers are networked and this isnt the main computer.

No...dont you have an Advanced Tab on the top?

One should say General and one should say Advanced.

Tabs..not buttons.

Yeh i see the advanced tabs, but then it has "connection type" and then all those names i mentioned before " 10mbps and so on.

k...nevermind those other things.

On the advanced tab...uncheck the "protect yadda...blah...crap"

It doenst have any of that.

It says im connected to Macronix MX98715 Family Fast Ethernet Adapter (ACPI)

It doesnt?

I assume you are runnign Windows XP. Which one? Pro or Home?

No...click the advanced tab. Then uncheck.

Come on man...my rye and coke is getting warm here and needs a refill :)

Yeh mate im sorry about all this....
I have Windows 2000 professional and in the advanced tab its got nothing u can uncheck.

Its got no advanced tab only general... and in general the only ones u can uncheck are...

*Clients for Microsoft Networks.
*Flie and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks.
*Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

and they are all ticked.

Whoaaaaaaa...ok...you have Windows 2000.

No built in firewall. You have a router.

K...go to your routers page, I am guessing it is http://192.168.1.1 and alllow port 8000 to pass through.

haha

I just clicked on that link and this is what came up

401 Access to this resource has been denied.

K...you do have a router right? What kind is it?

Ummmmmm Router.... What is that again? if you explain it i could find out mate.

Broadband ADSL/Cable SOHO Router with 4-Port 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch

ROUTER

AKA a little box that allows a bunch of computers to connect to the internet through one internet connection.

k..ya...you need to get to your router config page and allow shoutcast access through port 8000.

I dont know your brand of router so I am going to be little help there.
