Users cannot connect
 

Users are unable to connect to my server. I can see the attempts made in the gui of the server, but the users attempts never actually connect.

I am connected to the server.
I have read the FAQ section, and noted that I did not have port forwading on since I am behind a router, I have since forwarded the main IP to the 192.168.. to corispond to the computer which is based as the server. Am I not providing suficient bandwith? Or is the port forwading not really working? As well, in the winamp plugin, under the output, connection, output config, what IP address should I have there, I have the 192.168.... of my computer within the network, and this is confusing me, because im sure ive read somewhere to have it as 127.0.0.1

Im sure the problem has something to do with the config on my end somewhere, I dont know too much about the internet. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Ger

Additional Information:

I am listen on shoutcast yp, and it is upto date.
stream url is http://24.36.113.39;8000

you can only play mp3s in winamp mode, check your files again and then broadcast

At the moment, all I have is MP3's in my playlist.

Thanking you again for your help with my ignorance.

well see:

<10/05/05@20:21:30> [source] source dropped connection. disconnecting.

thats usually if you dropped the source or if something isnt getting sent right, so its usally the type of file.

I removed the song that was not in mp3 format, thank you very much for your help, however the above post is the most recent log, and it still will not allow other computers to connect... my neigbour, the computer beside me and the computer in the computer room can not connect it just says "connecting...." and it has been a very long while, however the computers on the very same network can indeed connect to 192.168.62.59 which is the ip of this computer

I am still getting the connection closed on the event log, and there are no longer any files that are NOT mp3, as well if for argument sake, would the connection close when that file would play, or when the playlist is loaded?

do these router settings seem appropiate

ID- 4
Protocol- TCP
Trigger Port-8000
Range-8001
Maximum Activity Interval-30000
Session Chaining-ENABLE
Chaining on UDP-ENABLE
Address Replacement-ENABLE
Address Translation Type-TCP
Two Way Only-ENABLE

My shoutcast DNAS can't seem to connect to yp.shoutcast.com

Whats with that?

calm down a bit and use the edit button instead of posting over and over, anyway give us a link to test:
http://youriphere:theport/listen.pls <<winamp only listen link

your ip>> www.whatismyip.com

@benneh start your own thread instead of hijacking others, or search the forum

Sorry I didnt realize that posting replies instead 0f editing was bad manners.

http://24.36.113.39;8000/listen.pls

the link times our for me, the listen link is http://24.36.113.39:8000/listen.pls btw, but my computer is being ghey right now [times out on half the pages i go to :(] so i cant really give you any correct info as of this momment

Hey, I'm having one of those problems again... Everything seems to be perfect... I'm connected to my server (localhost), i'm sending/receiving bytes, i can see my url http://62.1.241.*:8000/ and when trying http://62.1.241.*:8000/listen.pls it's working perfectly...

BUT no users can listen to my server. Most of them can't even find the http://62.1.241.*:8000/ online...

My sc_serv is having this error:
[yp_add] error connecting to yp.shoutcast.com


Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks...
