It wont connect

Hi. I just stumbled upon ShoutCAST and thought it would be the ultimate way to broadcast my various DJ mixes. problem is, ive installed everything required (winamp, the shoutcast plugin) made my radio stations name and such in yellowpages, but when i hit connect in connections, it appears to be connecting then stops, greeting you with crushing words "not connected"

Could someone help me please!

Can you paste your DNAS log to see what any errors might be please?

You do have it, as that is just what you pasted from.

Make sure that SrcIP=ANY and DestIP=ANY in there.
You need to forward ports 8000 and 8001 on router and firewall.
