Connection Problems

Aerostyle · 20th February 2003, 19:05

Everything seems to be working fine and I can even listen to my own stream using a different application such as windows media player but when someone else tries to connect it does not work. What can I do to fix this?

FesterHead · 20th February 2003, 19:12

Please post the stream url used.
Most likely you are giving out a lan url to non-lan folks.

Link bot:
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)

Also, 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.

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

http://192.168.1.2:80/listen.pls

FesterHead · 20th February 2003, 19:27

Aye, 192.168.1.2 is a lan ip and will only work for folks on your lan.

See above.

OK thanks for the help. This is the right one I think then 65.101.163.212 however it still does not work.

FesterHead · 20th February 2003, 19:45

Is your portBase correct? The default is 8000.

Any errors logged in the DNAS?

Aerostyle · 20th February 2003, 19:51

I have no idea if it is correct. I switched it back to 8000 still nothing and here is the log:

Check out the results from a SHOUTcast forum search on 'something genre field'.

Look for a post by Xaoc titled:
yp.shoutcast.com gave error (nak)

Aerostyle · 20th February 2003, 20:57

Ok did all that and fixed that now I have this error and already tried changing my ypor to 666 still no luck

<02/20/03@15:55:01> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave extended error (Cannot see your station/computer (IP: 65.101.163.212:8000) from the Internet, disable Internet Sharing/NAT/firewall/ISP cache (Connection refused))

FesterHead · 20th February 2003, 21:08

The DNAS tells the SHOUTcast yp (yellow pages) that you are streaming.
The yp, in turn, verifies your stream.
In your case, the yp cannot connect to your stream to verify so you will not be listed in the SHOUTcast yp directory at http://www.shoutcast.com

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