Cannot connect

[d3m]

hello..
before i started using a router everything were ok...but after, i try to connect and i get almost the same message as written in the first post

[yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave extended error (Cannot see yo
ur station/computer (IP: my.ip.here:8000) from the Internet, disable Internet
Sharing/NAT/firewall/ISP cache (Connection timed out).)

i understand that there is a "port problem" so i went to portforward.com and i opened the ports 8000 8001 for winamp audio streaming following the guide...after doing that i tried again to connect and still the same message...i tried it also with disabled firewall and antivirus(COMODO and AVAST)
and still the same message...i read a lot of threads and posts and didn't find the answer...help please!!!!!!!!!

Best to start your own thread if you need support then people can see the history which i have done for you.

do you have a router and a modem / seperate?

have you rebooted the router?

have you pointed it to the correct internal ip address?

disable any other firewalls xp firewall etc

[d3m]

reboot router means unplug and close it for a while and then connect again???i did just that..disable comodo and avast and yet the same error message...

have you pointed it to the correct internal ipaddress?

meaning...??

[Nick@ss]

what is your internal ip address?

[d3m]

the ip of the router is 192.168.1.1.
i dont know if this is what you ask...

[Nick@ss]

Then you havent forwarded the ports by the sound of it?

you need to forward the ports to your local ip which can be found by going to

start > run > type "cmd" > window opens : type "ipconfig"

this will give you your local ip which you need to forward 8000 - 8001 to in your router

[d3m]

done that.I have forwarded the ports by entering the ip address of the router in the address bar of mozilla.
then i went security>virtual servers and i added a server with the name WampAS1, External Port Start 8000, External Port End 8001 and Protocol TCP/UDP...

[Nick@ss]

sounds good,

if that is the only thing thats blocking the ports then you should have no further issues,

[d3m]

i have because still appears the same message!!!!dont know what to do....

you need to forward your pcs ip address in the router setup too.

find your network address:
start -> run -> cmd -> ipconfig

Look for your ip 192.168.*.* enter that in your router settings.

note:
If you reboot your pc its network ip may change,so you may have to setup ip/port forwarding in your router again.
This is because your pc may get its ip address via dhcp automatically.

sorry, because i am very amateur with the router thing...
enter that in my router settings meaning??

[Jkey]

You dont just open the ports on your router,you must also forward those ports to the pc which is running sc_serv.

This is so the router sends all requests made on port 8000(or your sc port) to the sc_serv on your pc.

[d3m]

so i must change the settings of the application sc_serv in order to connect via the correct ip to the router????
how i do that???

[Jkey]

Im obviously confusing you further follow this tutorial and
if you still get stuck come back.

sorry guys for consuming your time...I still cant make it work!!!!
maybe its impossible to work with my router...:'(

[Nick@ss]

Can you post a picture of your router port forwarding page and maybe we can help you further however If you cannot work the router then maybe you should look at a stream host.

Most people set up shoutcast locally and realize they do not have the bandwidth to carry the stream anyway so you might just be cutting out all the agrovational element of shoutcasting.

in your router settings you should be forwarding the ports to the local ip as jkey has said above,

something like this depending on your router make, what is your router make?

[d3m]

ok...

[Nick@ss]

and what is your local ip?

this will give you your local ip

[d3m]

adress IPv4: 192.168.1.3.
default gateaway: 192.168.1.1.

[Nick@ss]

ok so forward ports 8000 - 8001 to 192.168.1.3

instead of 192.168.1.1
