any ideas on what's wrong??

Two problems:
192.168.1.100 is a LAN IP, no one outside his LAN will be able to connect to that IP. You will need to use his global IP.
FATAL ERROR change SrcIP back to ANY if you changed it, otherwise something is blocking port 8001.

Tom

how do i get his global ip

and what do you mean by changing the srcIP back to any

Have your friend visit: https://www.casterclub.com/iphost.php to get his IP. If he is on a LAN then he will need to configure the gateway device (i.e. router) too.
SrcIP is a setting in sc_serv.ini (the configuration file for the DNAS).

Tom

are u running any other software that may use port 8000? Gamming software, any other servers besides shoutcast?

try a shoutcast forum search

thanks i have it working :D

great to hear.
