[LaBoTe98]

Hi! I'm a Frensh Canadian and I try about 3 hours to do my server . Then, I always think that will work but that's not. My friend call me and tell me that say's " Can't connect" or something like that. Please Help me cause I really want to make my little Radio on the net.

You need a source. This is usually Winamp with the SHOUTcast DSP. Go through this and you should be up and running (in your case start with step 3).

1) Download the DNAS. You can find it here: http://www.shoutcast.com/download/license.phtml
2) Run the file you just downloaded, this will install the DNAS.
3) Download the DSP. You can find it here: http://www.shoutcast.com/downloads/s...2b-windows.exe
3) Run the file you downloaded and this will install the DSP into Winamp.
4) In the Start menu find the "Edit SHOUTcast DNAS configuration" and change the password to something other then "changeme". You can also take this time to change your listener count and port base if you wish.
5) Open Winamp and load the DSP (Ctrl + P > DSP/Effect > Nullsoft SHOUTcast Source)
6) In the window that pops up go to "Output" highlight "Output 1" and press "Connection".
7) For the address leave it at localhost if the DNAS is on the same machine, otherwise put in the IP of the machine with the DNAS.
8) If you changed the port in step 4 then put the value you entered in here.
9) Change the password to what you entered in step 4.
10) Change the "Encoder" to 1.
11) Click on the "Encoder" tab.
12) Select "Encoder 1" and change the type to "MP3 Encoder"
13) Set the "Encoder Settings" to the quality you want.
14) Start the DNAS (Start > SHOUTcast DNAS > SHOUTcast DNAS).
15) Play a song in Winamp and press "Connect" under the "Output" tab of the DSP.

Also you might want to take a look at the suggested signature sizes and guidelines at: http://forums.winamp.com/announcement.php?s=&forumid=86 (last post).

You need to forward the port your broadcasting on to the proper machine. Look in the manual for port forwarding/port mapping/etc.
