Firewall ports for shoutcast streaming>> winamp

s_ball · 7th November 2003, 19:00

Hey Guys,
I notice that I cannot connect to all streaming content via Winamp3 from behind my company's firewall. Are the ports for streaming content configured on a per provider basis?
I noticed that some are on 8000 but some vary quite a bit.

Thanks,
Sean Ball

The DNASs portBase is configurable per station.

The default is 8000.

Thanks Festerhead.
I suppose I could craft some firewall rules to accomodate those who do not conform to the standard port assignment.

Thanks for your help.

There is no standard portBase for SHOUTcasting, just a default value.

Perhaps I should have said 'deviate from the default value.' Thanks for the correction.

Hello,

Always unblock ports 1 before and after the listening port.

For example:

Set port: 8000, also unblock port 7999 and 8001

Let me know if that works!

Thanks and God Bless!

I have had no problems dwoldo opening only the one port after the listening port.
lets asume this...
Default Port = 8000

then I would need to do this:
Ports to open = 8000-8001

Hmm. I must be thinking of broadcasting from the server, not for the listener. I apologize.

Thanks and God Bless!

portBase+1 only needs to be opened/forwarded if the DNAS is going to be sourced from someone outside the network.
