DNS in Listeners List

N Cube · 11th March 2003, 17:13

I have just re-installed my ShoutCast, Winamp and DSP Plugin and there is a slight difference in my new installation from the previous one.

My listeners' list previously displayed DNS computer names and now I am only able to see IP numbers of listening computers. I can't quite figure where the difference is as I would prefer to see DNS instead of IP.

Please help.

Edit your DNAS sc_serv.ini/conf file.

Look for the section:

code:
; NameLookups.  Specify 1 to perform reverse DNS on connections.

; This option may increase the time it takes to connect to your

; server if your DNS server is slow.  Default is 0 (off). 

NameLookups=0

Thanks for your reply. I have also tried commenting it out as below and seems to have done the trick. I was put off by the slow connection warning.
