Port and address

[DJ - BoYci3]

Ive just tried setting my station up.Been thru all the readme and config. Not sure wot to set port as so i set it as 8001 and when i try and get my server going it stops at " [source] listening for connection on port 8001" it connected once but not since. Also wot will be the address of my station http://myip:8001/listen.pls ???

most people use port 8000.

posting up your server entry log would help for better replies.

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:

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
