Home network, ICS, Shoutcast = ARRGGHH

Hi all,

Firstly I have to say that I have searched the forums/FAQ's for a solution to my problem but with no luck or I didn't understand the solutions, so if the solution is out there I do apologise now for posting the problem here.

Secondly from reading the problems I appreciate that the more info you have the better, so I will endeavour in giving as much info as possible.

Thirdly and most importantly, I have no idea about networks etc, I managed to set my particular network up through trial and error, so you are looking at a newbie here.

Ok here it goes.

I have 2 pc's connected to each other through a cross over cable and 2 network cards no routers involved no proxies and no firewall is involved either. PC 'A'(WINXP) is also connected to the internet (CABLE MODEM) via a second network card and shares the connection with PC 'B'(WIN2K PRO). No problems there. PC 'B' has winamp plus the relevent plug ins installed for shoutcast radio. I can connect locally (http://192.168.0.23:8000/listen.pls) to hear the stream via PC 'A' although no external users can using this url.

The local IP address on PC 'A' is 192.168.0.1 and the IP address for the internet is 62.31.67.161. PC 'B''s local IP address is 192.168.0.23 and is obviously set with a default gateway of 192.168.0.1.

How do I get people accessing my streaming audio via the internet?

I hope this wasn't too long winded for you? I needed to get the point across.

Hopefully you can help me, and remember before answering, I a newbie

Give this a try, I don't have XP so I can't verify that it works but it should.

Skip step 4 and in step 6 use the following:
Description of Service: SHOUTcast Server
Name or IP: 192.168.0.23
Protocol: TCP
External Port number for this service: 8000
Internal Port number for this service: 8000

If you want to allow people outside your LAN to broadcast on your server then you will also need to do the same with 8001, but if the source is from within the LAN then forwarding 8000 will allow listeners to tune in.
