and i have a diff ip now...do i gotta keep checking this and changing my listen link?

if so..thats a pain lol

bump 4 answer lol

If you have a dynamic IP, you can get a static name at www.no-ip.com.

then my ip would stay the same..thanks

hope this is easy to use.

sure enough...no idea how this NO-IP works.
i signed up and stuff

hmmm add a host? host name? lol

i need some to help me with this no-ip setup.

hmmm ok i went ti no-ip.com
signed up
i made a host name and created it.
am i done?

Well, start broadcasting, and let someone here test the host to see if it works.

so thats all i do? just make up sum name for a host.
i alsodownloaded some no-ip DUC..sum updater.
so the IP i have now,will stay the same from now on? as long as i run that DUC update thingy?

hmmm i cant connect the shoutcast server..im getting this,
<02/27/04@05:50:27> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave invalid id
<02/27/04@05:50:49> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave error ()
<02/27/04@05:50:50> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave invalid id
<02/27/04@05:50:52> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave invalid id
<02/27/04@05:50:53> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave invalid id
<02/27/04@05:50:58> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave invalid id


do u need to change some settings for shoutcast to connect properly now?

this is more than likely related to the "YP is Broken" post shown above this forum. Additionally if you don't know how to use no-ip.com ask them or search their help. We don't know much about it ourself.

I am on high speed cable internet and I'm running a FTP server and a HTTP (web) server from my pc using NO-IP. If you can't figure it out I'll try to help. Just shoot me an email @ johnny@masterpatton.com

Later

i dont think theres much ta do with this no-ip right?
just make up a host name..name it..and im done?
i dont have to do anything else? just check 4 updates eventually and im assumin i keep the same ip from now on.correct?

No-IP is a Dynamic DNS Service Provider. What this means is, that you can pick a name for yourself, tack it onto their domain name, attach your IP address, and they will advertise that name and IP address to the public names servers.

Since your real ip address sometimes changes, you need to verify they have the current ip address registered, or run a little software to constantly watch your ip, and their setting for your ip, and to kick off an update if the addresses mismatch.


So, what you have to do now is monitor your IP address at no-ip.com or run a tool to do that for you.


I use DynDns.org to advertise my address, and DeeEnEss to update my account there.

updateing my IP with no-ip.com..am i still going to have to change my listen.pls link for shoutcast? or will my listen link always stay the same from now on becuz ill be updating thru no-ip?

your link to listen will now be something like

nameyoulike.no-ip.com:8000/listen.pls

ok great..so that will be my link ALL the time now? and it wont change?

yes, but your IP will still change. But you will still have to run a program to monitor your IP, and to Up-date No-IP.
