I only change this three line
; ***************************
; Required stuff
; ***************************

; MaxUser. The maximum number of simultaneous listeners allowed.
; Compute a reasonable value for your available upstream bandwidth (i.e. if
; you have 256kbps upload DSL, and want to broadcast at 24kbps, you would
; choose 256kbps/24kbps=10 maximum listeners.) Setting this value higher
; only wastes RAM and screws up your broadcast when more people connect
; than you can support.
MaxUser=2

; Password. While SHOUTcast never asks a listener for a password, a
; password is required to broadcast through the server, and to perform
; administration via the web interface to this server. This server should
; consist of only letters and numbers, and is the same server your broadcaster
; will need to enter in the SHOUTcast Source Plug-in for Winamp. THIS VALUE
; CANNOT BE BLANK.
Password=changeme

; PortBase. This is the IP port number your server will run on. The
; value, and the value + 1 must be available. If you get a fatal error when
; the DNAS is setting up a socket on startup, make sure nothing else on the
; machine is running on the same port (telnet localhost portnumber -- if you
; get connection refused then you're clear to use that port). Ports < 1024
; may require root privledges on *nix machines. The default port is 8000.
PortBase=8000

i also have d link dl-604 and others cant see my station . i checkt all infos but still didnt help

[Jrman006]

Change the port to something else.

CAn someone tell me what shoud I do for that error.and what address should i give to listener.

[FesterHead]

To fix the "yp.shoutcast.com gave extended error (please type something in the genre field)" error, you need to type something in the genre field.

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

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

Note: Other search criteria may yield more results.

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

Please enjoy 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)

Example:
If your DNAS ip is 123.345.567.789 and your DNAS portBase is 2112, then your links would be:
DNAS link: http://123.345.567.789:2112
Listen link: http://123.345.567.789:2112/listen.pls

Also, if your router doesn't support local loopback then 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.

Please don't give out urls with 127.0.0.1 as the ip. That is a local loopback ip.
See RFC3330 for more information.

Please don't give out urls with 192.168.x.y or 10.x.y.z or 172.(16-31).x.y as the ip. That is a private lan ip.
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

Please read some polite advice.

-------------------
i typed something in the genre field and it works fine now.
Does that mean the server is successfully operated?
for the link. i don't get it at all.
DNAS ?? loopback ip??can some one explain me detailed on how to get
listener addresss.very basic please
-----------------------
i configured first problem by using telnet defualt port (23)
8000 doesn't work for me.don't know why?

[djmastermind]

Yes, your server is running fine. "yp added me" means your station information (station name, bitrate, maximum number listeners, current number listeners, currently playing song, ...) has been added to the SHOUTcast yp (yellow pages) directory.

"yp touched" means your station information (station name, bitrate, maximum number listeners, current number listeners, currently playing song, ...) has been updated in the SHOUTcast yp directory.

It can take up to 15 minutes after the first "yp touched" message before your station appears from a SHOUTcast yp search.

Give your link in this format: http://yourIP:yourPORT/listen.pls replacing "yourIP" with your IP and "yourPORT" with your portbase as defined by the DNAS (server) config file.

[altbighead]

Thanks a lot djmastermind.
------------------------
can someone pls test my link?

http://192.168.0.102:23/listen.pls

[djmastermind]

I'm pretty sure that 192.168.0.102 is a LAN IP.. You will need to enter a real world IP. Find yours out at www.whatismyip.com

[altbighead]

http://216.221.57.107:23/listen.pls

[djmastermind]

I connected fine and it sounds good.

I did get a lot of buffering, though. To see at what bitrate you should broadcast, use this listner calculator and this bandwidth calculator.

[altbighead]

sorry djmastermind
error again

ohh it's ok now
nvm.
pls try again?
http://216.221.57.107:23/listen.pls

[FesterHead]

http://216.221.57.107:23 -> your DNAS

40kbps 22kHz stereo coming in rather poor.

I buffered quite often, experienced constant clipping, and you kept changing the song.

Q: What is clipping?
A: "Clipping" means that when the mp3 file is decoded by your player, some of the sound samples will be too loud. The player will "clip" these samples so that they do not exceed the maximum allowable value. This clipping creates a sort of rough, "scratchy" sound during loud parts of the song.

Q: How do I fix it?
A: Track gain your mp3s with MP3Gain

[altbighead]

thanks a lot.
