firewalls and dj's

briguy9987 · 25th August 2003, 03:30

I've been trying to get my server and dj plug-ins to work for some time now. It keeps telling me that the main server can't see my computer because i have a firewall running. I checked my computer, and found that my firewall is off. My computer is running on a network and router. I was also told that there are sometimes built in firewalls in the routers. if so, how do i turn it off so that i can dj?

Check out your router documentation and/or manufacturers website for firewall and/or port forwarding (aka virtual server) instructions.

Are you running Windows XP?

************

Two (or less) easy steps:
1. If you have a firewall, open the necessary port(s).
2. If you have a router, configure it to forward the necessary port(s) to the DNAS machine.

DNAS Stuff -> Errors -> Fixing [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave extended error (Cannot see your station/computer (IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx) from the Internet, disable NAT/firewall/ISP cache (Connection timed out)

Are the necessary ports open in your firewall and are they being forwarded to the DNAS machine?
