Dropped Connections
Hi,
I'm seeking some ideas on a problem I'm having. I have my own dedicated server that I set up Shoutcast on to broadcast our church services. The server is running fine and has plenty of available bandwidth. I've done some testing from home (1.5meg DSL)and had a couple friends listen with no problems. I decided to go live today at church and had two listeners. Both listeners reported that they kept getting dropped after 6 minutes and 30 seconds of listening. At church, I was broadcasting from my laptop through a Wi-Fi connection to a 256k up/down DSL connection. As near as I could tell through WinAmp, I was not losing connection to the server. The status showed a continuous amount of bandwidth and connection time. If I was losing connection at the Wi-Fi level, I should be able to tell that from the WinAmp interface, right? Before I start to pull 100' of cat5 through the insulation in the attic to get a wired connection to the sound booth, does anyone see any significance of the 6-1/2 minute connection then drop problem? Now, I don't know if both users were getting dropped at the same time, but they both did report that it was right at 6-1/2 minutes between drops. Thanks for any advice you may have.
