Administration Access?

[The Vampyre Syn]

Ok I got the station up all on my own and people are connecting etc.. I have one question. When I go to the http page to see my songlisting, streaming page, station info and I go to get in the administration section it asks for a name and password, I know the password is in my files I configured but where does the name it wants come from? Thats my big question ;)

My Second Question is is there a way to have a name instead of numbers for people to connect to my station?

And while I am posting, how does a station show up in the media listing under internet radio in winamp? I can see my station listed at shoutcast when searched but is the media listing just for bigger stations or do I need to apply or do something to be listed on that?

Thanks

username = 'admin' (without the quotes) and is not configurable

password = defined in the DNASs sc_serv.ini configuration file (default section shown below):

code:
; 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

----- also in the DNAS:


; NameLookups. Specify 1 to perform reverse DNS on connections.
; This option may increase the time it takes to connect to your
; server if your DNS server is slow. Default is 0 (off).
NameLookups=0

You need to be in the top 500 to show up in the default listing, if you want to see yourself there on your own winamp, set the media library's listing number higher in the preferences until you see yourself.

When I try to login into the Admin center, I can't. I set my pass and i login as admin

; AdminPassword. This password (if specified) changes the
; behavior of Password to be a broadcast-only password, and
; limits HTTP administration tasks to the password specified
; here. The broadcaster, with the password above, can still
; log in and view connected users, but only the AdminPassword
; will grant the right to kick, ban, and specify reserve hosts.
; The default is undefined (Password allows control for both
; source and admin)
; AdminPassword=MYPASS

Make sure that you eliminate the semicolon ( ; ) before the "; AdminPassword=MYPASS" line.
