Probably A Stupid Question

[djdankay]

Hi,
This is probably a stupid question but how do I know if my station is on-line??? It seems like it is. However I can't connect to it on another computer an it seems like it is on-line. Below is my report. Please let me know.

Thanks,
Dan

Then it said someting later about being touched

[LollipopLustKil]

That seems all good, no problems at all.

Post a link for us to test the stream.

http://YourIp:YourPort/listen.pls

Your IP - www.whatismyip.com

[edit]Being touched means it updated your stats on the SHOUTcast YP directory. Though, your station won't show up on the list for up to 15 minutes.[/edit]

[djmastermind]

That's perfect.. everything looks good.

Do you have 'localhost' in the DJ Tool in WinAmp?

[DJUndertow]

also if your djing for another station you should probly change the relay IP in the DNAS source i had to dontk now why

[djdankay]

Great, Thanks Guy's. It's running with winamp 2.91. What do you mean by 'localhost' in the DJ Tool in WinAmp? Here is the link: http://192.168.0.5:8000/listen.pls

[djmastermind]

Nevermind.. it's the same at 127.0.0.1

[djdankay]

I can now monitor it on another computer. It sounds fast!! I don't know why. alos what is the max users on the server with a cable connection

[LollipopLustKil]

That's your local IP. Use your "real world" IP.

http://www.whatismyip.com

[djmastermind]

what is the max users on the server with a cable connection

Use this listener calculator and this bandwidth calculator.

[djdankay]

Hmm I can't get the "real world" IP to work.

[djmastermind]

Enter either 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1' into the address box. This tells the source to send to the server on your computer. You send the real-world IP to people to listen. ( http://yourIP:yourPORT/listen.pls )

[djdankay]

ok, I entered in 127.0.0.1 in the shoutcast DPS

[djmastermind]

You should be able to connect properly. If you can't, please send any errors you receive in the server log.

[LollipopLustKil]

Try entering 'localhost'. That usually works the best.

Also, give us the link so we can test your stream.

[djdankay]

Ok, I think i'm confused Sorry. Where do I need to enter this 'localhost' or 127.0.0.1??? it wouldn't take localhost in the shoutcast dsp!

[djdankay]

an the only link I have now is http://192.168.0.5:8000/listen.pls an I can get it to play on that with this comp. but it is fast

[LollipopLustKil]

In the "Address" box.

[djdankay]

ok, i put in the 127.0.0.1 into the shoucast dsp plug in address box an it took that. I can't get it to take 'local host'

[djmastermind]

localhost must be one word. They're the exact same things, so no worries. Do whichever you prefer.

[LollipopLustKil]

Put it without the spaces.

[djdankay]

Ok, here is the lastest report:

[djmastermind]

You're good. Post the link.

[djdankay]

i'm not positve of the link. I get it to play on this computer with http://192.168.0.5:8000.listen.pls/

But it is fast!!

sorry to be a pain. i'm new to this Thanks everyone for all the help

[LollipopLustKil]

Again, that's your local IP. We need your "real world" IP.

http://www.whatismyip.com

Get it from there.

[djmastermind]

192.168.0.5 is your LAN IP.. not your real world IP. Meaning, if you gave that link to someone, they wouldn't be able to connect to you.

Get your Real-World IP here.

[djdankay]

ok then it might be http://66.24.132.228:8000/listen.pls

[djmastermind]

haha! It's a war now, Lolli.

[djdankay]

but I can't listen to it at that right??

[djmastermind]

That's the one, but I couldn't connect. Care to take a swing, Lolli?

[LollipopLustKil]

Hmm, that doesn't seem to be working. Double check to make sure that's your correct IP.

Got that right mastermind.

[djdankay]

yep, that's it: http://66.24.132.228:8000.listen.pls/

Would it have anything to do with the router fire wall an port setup?

[djmastermind]

Have you receivec any errors in the DNAS?

[LollipopLustKil]

That all depends on if you have any errors in your DNAS log.

Btw, mastermind, I would have beaten you, but I replying to your other post.

[djmastermind]

haha! Yeah, I noticed. Play you rock, paper, scissors for this thread.

[LollipopLustKil]

I'm psychic, I'd wip you.

[djdankay]

where do I get at the dnas log??

[djmastermind]

This is absolutely mad! I've never gone between two posts so quickly. and by the way, as I quote from KXRM.. "talk about thread derailment."

[LollipopLustKil]

It's the same thing you posted earlier where you said "This is the latest report".

[djdankay]

Thna nope, no errors

[djmastermind]

I wonder why we couldn't connect.. are you giving the server a source as we speak? (Are you connected and playing music and bytes are sending)
