connection timed out..whats wrong

Carbune922 · 1st February 2011, 10:08

Hi,

im new around here and I have some problems setting up my radio station.
I've downloaded and inslalled the SHOUTcast DNAS 1.9.8 sever (the GUI version) and the SHOUTcast DSP Plug-In for Winamp. I 've modified the password field , the source Ip which i put at 127.0.0.1 and at the destination Ip since i have a dinamic Ip address the field was left to ANY. I've started the server ,ive put the encoder to AAC+ at a 48kb/s.At the connection tab the adrres is localhost since im streaming from this computer the port is 8000 the password is the one i chose in the conf files.
SO far so good,i put some mp3's in the winamp playlist and it connects to the server without problems, but when i test it on my laptop( press ctrl+L on winamp and introduce the current sever IP(witch is dynamic)and the port number) it says connecting for a while and the connection timed out:|....and i also distabled my firewalls on both PC's.

Something wrong ?! Please help me. Thanks you very much!

Please describe your network topology:

Are you using any routers or modems with built-in routers. If you have more than one please describe them and how they are connected.
Are you trying to test (listen) to your stream from the same computer as the DNAS or from another computer on your LAN.
If using router(s), do you know if it/they support local loopbacks.

More likely than not, it sounds like you're behind a router and it does not support local loopbacks. Instead, when trying to make a client listening connection (to test) connect to either http://localhost:8000 if testing from the same machine the DNAS is running on or to http://ip-address-of-LAN-adapter-DNAS-is-running-on:8000 if trying to test from another computer on the same LAN as the DNAS hosting machine.

Im using D-link D-655 wireless router to connect with my laptop and it does support local loopbacks. Ive also tested the radio at the server PC and it says it's active but when I try to connect from my laptop using this time 192.168.0.1(the WLAN addapter's IP).,.....same problem:|..any other suggestions?
