have u got a firewall instead???

also do u have windows xp, cos it has a built in firewall

if u have installed a firewall then open up port 8000, or whichever port your setup the dnas shoutcast server to use

I dont use xp i may have a firewall working on my LAN host but i doubt it should restrict it because we have prevented it from causing most problems but there are some things i cant do like dcc on irc and send on msn this might be the reason why

ahhh ur on a lan, well then the system that is directly connected to the net has to forward requests on port 8000 to the dnas machine

or, if you use a router, you gotta set it up to forward requests on port 8000 to your dnas machine
