Winamp2 worked with streaming, 3 does not

[j_see]

I did not post this in the shoutcast forum for the simple reason that Winamp 2 worked perfect with all the streaming music I listened to. Winmp 3 on the other hand does not work at all.
When I try to connect to a shoutcast server, Winamp3 instantly says HTTP: returned 0, and does nothing else. I am using ATTBI cable with a Linksys 4 port router, and windows XP. XP firewall is disabled, router settings are mostly at default which worked fine with Winamp2. I Just spent half an hour searching these forums for a solution and couldnt find anything usefull at all. Any ideas? Thanks
