yeah AJ! You need to configure port forwarding on your router... what this basically means is when a request is made to your router for.. say.. port 8000 for SHOUTcast, it will send the request for your PC. I know for my router you type http://voyager.home/ to get the settings or you type http://192.168.1.1/ which is the address of it on my network.

Good Luck!

Yeah, i have allowed all ports through my router whiole i test, but i dont know the address to my radio page, like before it use to be 127.0.0.1 and ur raido page come up... my Routers Netgear, any idea what adress i use with my router?

[Rysin109]

type this in to get your radio page (if you are on the same machine as the server)

http://localhost:8000/

(and obviously if the port is still set to the default 8000)

thanks, but whats the link i give my mates for them to listen?

[AJSiv]

Ok ive got my program to host, i put server address as 127.0.0.1 and i put the correct password,but it says Inccorect password on the program and on the shoutcast program :S is it a diff server address as im using a router?

[AJSiv]

Ah its ok, i changed the wrong apssword, i changed the admin page not the server pass

[Rysin109]

is it working now then?

[AJSiv]

can you help me how to get my radio link so ppl can listen please?

[Rysin109]

go to http://www.whatismyip.com/ and the address for ppl to listen is that IP (that shows u your router ip address) and then the port number... eg...

http://xxx.xx.xxx.xx:8000/listen.pls
(only include listen.pls if you want the player to open straight away) and you get what all the X values are at whatismyip.

This SHOULD work if u did the port forwarding correctly.

Cheers,

it didnt work it comes up page cannot be found . . .

[Rysin109]

Are you sure Port forwarding was set up properly?

[AJSiv]

I havent added any ports but on ym admin page for my router i can allow all access in and out, which i have set for like warcraft... do i need to manually add the ports?

[Rysin109]

i think it may be worth a try. lol.

[AJSiv]

lol whats the ports just 8000? UDP or TCP?

[Rysin109]

TCP i would imagine.

[AJSiv]
