College LAN broadcasting??

[haskinsj]

So im trying to setup a shoutcast from a LAN network on a college server from my personal computer. I cannot get connected on port 8000, do i need our IT dude to open up that port? ALso, since this is my first try at this. i asked him earlier about being able to do this, he was worried this will occupy too much bandwidth, is this really an issue broadcasting at 96kb/s @ 44.1hz ??

On the output configuration, what is supposed to occupy the "Address" box? 192.168.1.100?

please help me, this would be a huge success for our campus?
ok one more question, what if i want to run a mic and some turntables, and a tape deck as well...is this possible? can i input these sources first through an external mixer then into my computers audio input??

thanks
