Hi , I just got SHOUTcast yesterday and was looking about putting up my own Streaming music channel.. But the READ ME file that came with it kinda confuses me so Im wondering if anyone here can tell me Step-by-step on how I can go about setting up my own channel , Like what am i suppose to edit in that sc_serv.ini file? Thanks for Help in advance

Ok, I got everything set up correct.. Now.. How do i find my adress so that i can give it out to people and they can listen?

DNAS link: http://yourDNASip:yourDNASport
Listen link: http://yourDNASip:yourDNASport/listen.pls

Replace yourDNASip with the ip of the DNAS (SHOUTcast server) and yourDNASport with the DNAS port (default is 8000)

Also, machines on the same lan as the DNAS (you) need to use the lan ip of the DNAS to connect/listen.
Machines not on the same lan as the DNAS (the rest of the world) need to use the real, world-visible ip of the DNAS to connect/listen.

See RFC1918 for more information. Scroll down and look for the section titled: 3. Private Address Space

How to find your ip address (Part I).
How to find your ip address (Part II).

Finally, you can get a static name, such as foo.bar.com (not as cool as that, though

) from http://www.no-ip.com or one of the other myriad of Dynamic DNS Services.
Then, your links would be:
DNAS link: http://foo.bar.com:yourDNASport
Listen link: http://foo.bar.com:yourDNASport/listen.pls

Check out the results from a SHOUTcast forum search on 'unnamed server'.

Look for a post by bigash titled...
!!!!Changing station name!!!!!

Note: Other search criteria may find more results.
