hi, well im new at this, so please dont ban me if i do something wrong. :\

well, im getting this message on the SHOUTcast Server Monitor.

Event log:

just as it says a firewall is between you and the outside internet, the port you run the server on must be forwarded through the router.

try disabling your firewall while you connect, then when it says somnething on the lines of 'shoutcast touched' enable your firewall again.

thank u guys/gals for everything i got it working.

but it does not say like Shoutcast touched or anything. i have to check on my SHOUTcast administraters site well, thanks all.

RULES!
