New server, need help

mthorne · 27th November 2000, 22:50

Running lastest version of shoutcast (downloaded it a couple days ago)
Redhat Linux 7.0
Celeron 300A (no overclocking)
64 megs of memory.
40 gig hard drive (plenty of free space)
PacBell DSL

Playing a large mp3 in WinAmp from my site, www.magnusthorne.com, works fine.

Playing a large mp3 in WinAmp from my shoutcast server, www.magnusthorne.com:8080/content/whatever.pls, will play, but will loses connectivity after a couple seconds, then reconnects, then loses connectivity after a few seconds... etc...

I'm assuming it isn't a bandwidth problem, since playing from my web site works fine. I've got nothing else eating my bandwidth. The web site gets very little traffic.

I've got a firewall in front of my server, but I've opened all ports to make sure there isn't a firewall problem.

Any ideas?

thanx,
-Mag

It all kinda depends on a few things:
Your bitrate (if it is too high - you WILL lose connectivity no matter what your bandwidth)
Where you are connecting from (network, internet etc.)
It could also be a server config error.
Go and read the helpfile again coz I think it covers this sort of thing if I remember rightly

ciao
