Tip of the day in getting prompt free technical support:
Write in complete sentences using valid grammer syntax and punctuation.

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

Do you have a DNAS (SHOUTcast server) installed?

If so, any errors in the DNAS log?

Did you change the DNAS variables srcIP and destIP from ANY?

Is your DNAS and Winamp/DSP combo on the same machine?

What exactly are you entering for "Address" and "Port" in the DSP?

Please answer them all to expidite your help request.

Please read some polite advice.

yes i have the server installed and running when i connect to 1.1.1.5 from the computer its running on this is the error that comes up

<09/07/03@09:48:23> [source] connected from 1.1.1.5
<09/07/03@09:48:24> [source] icy-name:Unnamed Server ; icy-genre:
<09/07/03@09:48:24> [source] icy-pub:1 ; icy-br:24 ; icy-url:http://www.shoutcast.com
<09/07/03@09:48:24> [source] icy-irc:#shoutcast ; icy-icq:0 ; icy-aim:N/A
<09/07/03@09:48:26> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave error (nak)
<09/07/03@09:48:26> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave extended error (please type something else in the stream title/description field)

then it times out

and when i try to connect to 24.168.24.202 from my computer that its running on it says

<09/07/03@09:48:24> [source] icy-name:Unnamed Server ; icy-genre:

<09/07/03@09:48:26> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave extended error (please type something else in the stream title/description field)

then it times out

for the third one if your saying did i change the ini file.. :P all i changed was the password not adminpass just password

yes its on the same computer

and i came here for help not people telling me how to write sentences...

[LollipopLustKil]

I'm not sure, but have you tried typing something in the Title field?

[FesterHead]

Aye, as the error and LollipopLustKil suggest, type something in the title field.

Then, get ready for another "yp.shoutcast.com gave extended error (please type something in the genre field)" which of course you'll type something in the genre field.

Thanks for answering the questions. You're almost there and appear to be doing the right things..

S: and i came here for help not people telling me how to write sentences...
R: I'm telling you how to get prompt free technical support.

I don't care in what manner you usually write, but posting a giant run-on sentence (in the wrong forum) and complaining about not getting results doesn't help.

[BlueSteaL]

"Write in complete sentences using valid grammer syntax and punctuation."

and i have no idea what the title feild is

[Tom]

In the DSP: Output tab > Yellowpages > Description

Tom

[BlueSteaL]

i did enter the infromation into that and it still dident work

[LollipopLustKil]

Same error message?

[BlueSteaL]

no it dosent say anaything lol

[LollipopLustKil]

Did you press connect in the SHOUTcast DSP? If you don't try and connect, no message comes up.

[BlueSteaL]

it dosent say anaything it just times out

[FesterHead]

What exactly are you entering for "Address" and "Port" in the DSP?

Since the Winamp/DSP combo is on the same machine as the DNAS, try "127.0.0.1" or "localhost" (both withot the quotes) as the Address.

[BlueSteaL]

i have tryed that and i cant even connect to it on like the winamp playlist when i click it it says [connecting]24.168.24.202:8000 then it says [timeout]24.168.24.202:8000

[FesterHead]

Are we talking about connecting a source or connecting to listen?

[LollipopLustKil]

Did you put localhost in the 'Address' box?

[BlueSteaL]

Yeah, and it says timeout on both the source and while connecting, or atleast trying to connect.

[LollipopLustKil]

Post the whole log in the DNAS monitor.

[BlueSteaL]

it dosent say anaything it just sits there

[LollipopLustKil]

It says nothing at all? No startup?

[BlueSteaL]

yeah well it says some stuff when i start it up but nothing else

[LollipopLustKil]

Does it just say 'Connecting...' for awhile in the SHOUTcast DSP when you press Connect?

[BlueSteaL]

yeah then it times out.. im listning to your radio

[LollipopLustKil]

What are you putting in the boxes in the DSP?

[BlueSteaL]

uhh like the name of the server and stuff...

[LollipopLustKil]

The 'Address' box and 'Port' box and stuff.

[BlueSteaL]

i tryed my ip i tryed localhost i tryed 1.1.1.5 (i have a linksys) prety mutch everything i could think of.. :P

[LollipopLustKil]

Put "localhost" (without the quotes) in the 'Address' box.

[BlueSteaL]

i tryed that...

[LollipopLustKil]

Try it again, press Connect, and copy and paste what it says in the DNAS log here.

[BlueSteaL]

i just did lol

[LollipopLustKil]

The ENTIRE log.

[BlueSteaL]

uhh... oh one second

[BlueSteaL]

[LollipopLustKil]

Copy and paste it here I said.

[LollipopLustKil]

Are you sure you're pressing Connect in the DSP? There will be something said in the DNAS log no matter what if you press it.

[BlueSteaL]

yeah i do... :-/
