Shoutcast Server over Lan

ViViDboarder · 12th December 2005, 23:19

I'm at a university right now and I'd like to have a shoutcast station. I've found that I can connect via the Winamp DSP plug-in just fine to my server running back at home, but the bandwidth isn't much there. I'd also like to host a server from my computer here. Unfortunately, the ports for Shoutcast cannot be forwarded to me. Is there anyway I can broadcast over LAN instead of the internet? This way anyone on my domain will be able to connect to my station without having to worry about ports? I know nobody over the internet would be able to listen to me, but I would also broadcast to my other station.

Thanks,

Ian

Hi. You're asking questions about your University's network. Nobody here knows the answer. Many campuses block SHOUTcast servers, not just from the Internet, but also between subnets on the college WAN. Best advice is set one up and see what happens. Worse case - it will only cost you a little time.

Yea. I was able to connect to myself, I gotta see if anyone else can connect to it. Another idea I had was to try and set up a VPN and broadcast "locally" over the VPN. I think that is open actually.
