Sorry to be a pain... this has most probably already been asked
 

ok then i run my shoutcast DNAS, and then it seems to stall on....

<04/14/04@14:07:31> [source] listening for connection on port 8001

ive tried connecting to http://http://80.43.215.44:8001/listen.phs

but i get an error message- invalid password

and in the server monitor

<04/14/04@14:15:06> [source] invalid password from GET /listen.phs HTTP/1.1 80.43.215.44

this question has probably already been answerd and i would much appreciate any support, as all the other posts have been really well answerd

ps im using norton internet security, on a LAN with one other machine

Cheers

portBase+1 (8001 the default) is the source port.

All activity towards the DNAS is done using portBase.

http://80.43.215.44:8000/listen.pls

Notice the phs to pls change, too.

I don't see a DNAS visible at http://80.43.215.44:8000
Is the DNAS on?
Any errors in the DNAS log?
Please post the DNAS startup log snippet including connecting a source and the yp addition.

Thinks have progressed greatly since my last post, things are fine and seem to run smoothly exept i get this error

and what is the addy people conect to, is it :- http://myip:8000/listen.pls

<04/14/04@20:26:12> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave extended error (Cannot see your station/computer (IP: 80.43.217.234:8000) from the Internet, disable Internet Sharing/NAT/firewall/ISP cache (Connection timed out))

THANK YOU!

Aloha!

Two (or less) easy steps:
1. If you have a firewall, open the necessary port(s).
2. If you have a router, configure it to forward the necessary port(s) to the DNAS machine.

Check out the SHOUTcast Technical Support Sticky post titled:
SHOUTcast: Important Info & Answers to FAQs. READ ME!

Scroll down a bit and look for the section titled:
DNAS Stuff -> Errors -> Fixing [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave extended error (Cannot see your station/computer (IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx) from the Internet, disable NAT/firewall/ISP cache (Connection timed out)

Are the necessary ports open in your firewall and are they being forwarded to the DNAS machine?

Are you using Windows XP?
That has an internal firewall.
Either configure it or disable it.

Does your ISP block ports?

Check out http://www.radiotoolbox.com/cantheygetin and see if the reported information there helps.

Try setting the DNASs YPort to 666.
Check out the DNASs sc_serv.ini/conf configuration file for the section (default shown below):

code:
; Yport, port to connect to yp.shoutcast.com on. For people behind caching

; webproxies, change this to the alternate port (666 is what it might be,

; check www.shoutcast.com if you have problems). Otherwise, leave this at 80.

; We're actively working on re-opening port 666, but as of release the only

; working port is port 80.

Yport=80

Please read some polite advice.

*******************

DNAS link: http://yourDNASip:yourDNASport
Listen link: http://yourDNASip:yourDNASport/listen.pls

Replace yourDNASip with the ip of the DNAS (SHOUTcast server) and yourDNASport with the DNAS port (default is 8000)

Example:
If your DNAS ip is 123.345.567.789 and your DNAS portBase is 2112, then your links would be:
DNAS link: http://123.345.567.789:2112
Listen link: http://123.345.567.789:2112/listen.pls

Also, if your router doesn't support local loopback then machines on the same lan as the DNAS (you) need to use the lan ip of the DNAS to connect/listen.
Machines not on the same lan as the DNAS (the rest of the world) need to use the real, world-visible ip of the DNAS to connect/listen.

Please don't give out urls with 127.0.0.1 as the ip. That is a local loopback ip.
See RFC3330 for more information.

Please don't give out urls with 192.168.x.y or 10.x.y.z or 172.(16-31).x.y as the ip. That is a private lan ip.
See RFC1918 for more information. Scroll down and look for the section titled:
3. Private Address Space

How to find your ip address (Part I).
How to find your ip address (Part II).

Finally, you can get a static name, such as foo.bar.com (not as cool as that, though :)) from http://www.no-ip.com or one of the other myriad of Dynamic DNS Services.
Then, your links would be:
DNAS link: http://foo.bar.com:yourDNASport
Listen link: http://foo.bar.com:yourDNASport/listen.pls

Please read some polite advice.
