It means that I was able to see you have the DNAS up and therefore there is nothing that is preventing users from connecting. At the time I connected you were not providing the DNAS with audio therefore there was nothing for me to listen to. I connected by getting your IP from the forum software and then assumed you were on port 8000 which you were. I just took a look at the link on your website and it does not point to the same IP I used and therefore that appears to be the cause of your problems. Try using: http://80.195.17.116:8000/listen.pls and see if that works for the others.

Tom · 2nd April 2003, 04:51

The only thing you need to change is the link on the website.

Tom

dayveboy · 2nd April 2003, 04:55
