That has to do with the server or box your SHOUTcast Server is hosted or running on, their box is not setup properly or is not finding the DNS server they have that box resolving with.

[radiofrogmore]

so its my computer?

if it is then insted of messing around with it should i use another computer as the server?

[Joshcoombs]

is your shoutcast box hosted or is it your own?

If its hosted you might as well forget about doing it and contatc the company who host the dnas for you.

If not i dont righty know

Ime not very expierienced in this field lol.

[radiofrogmore]

my own

[Joshcoombs]

oh thats good 1 sec

[radiofrogmore]

k

[Joshcoombs]

Are you able to ping www.yahoo.com from the DNAS machine.

[radiofrogmore]

ping?

[Joshcoombs]

Open a command prompt and type "ping www.yahoo.com" (sans quotes).

***********

Check out the DNASs sc_serv.ini/conf configuration file:

code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Distributed Network Audio Server--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[radiofrogmore]

ok

[radiofrogmore]

nothing has happpened

[Joshcoombs]

1) Are you behind a firewall?
2) Do you have a router?
3) Do you have windows xp?

[radiofrogmore]

ok i got xp home
and i got a firewall which i have port 8000 open which is the one im using for winamp

[Joshcoombs]

Right ok!

You need to open port 8001 and forward to your machine ip or sometimes called internal server ip which can be found by

1) Click on start
2) Click on run
3) And enter: WINIPCFG
4) choose your lan card/ethernet device and look where it says ip address thats the address you forward the port to. eg mine is: 10.0.0.4

All the router does is assign an ip to each computer on the network

That was half your problem anyway because the server uses portbase +1 (8000) as well 8001

[Joshcoombs]

Ok you also need to Disable your XP Firewall.

Take your time to look at this address for info updates:

http://www.radiotoolbox.com/cantheygetin

also:

Try setting the DNASs YPort to 666.
Check out the DNASs sc_serv.ini/conf configuration file for the section (default shown below):

code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------; Yport, port to connect to yp.shoutcast.com on. For people behind caching
; webproxies, change this to the alternate port (666 is what it might be,
; check www.shoutcast.com if you have problems). Otherwise, leave this at 80.
; We're actively working on re-opening port 666, but as of release the only
; working port is port 80.
Yport=80--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Please verify you have done all this:

1) Disabled your xp firewall.
2) Configred your router.
3) Changed ports on the dnas config
4) Checked the address given for info updates

[FesterHead]

portBase+1 needs to be opened/forwarded to the DNAS machine if and only if folks outside the lan are going to source the DNAS.

[Joshcoombs]

Thanks fester i always forget that
I will remember now,

I hope we helped you.

Make sure you can ping www.yahoo.com

and if your not on aol do the yp.shoutcast.com ping 1

[radiofrogmore]

thanx that is sorted now.........

got another problem though lol

[Joshcoombs]

whats that? no problem i wanna get this stream going dude

[radiofrogmore]

well i have the website and everything and which is http://81.109.207.129:8000

but its not playing the music which i am and i dont no y

[Joshcoombs]

Right this could be because of coupls of problems:

1) Is your volume turned up on winamp (above equalliser)
2) Check to see if your sound controls are turned up and are not muted (at the bottom of the screen)
3) go to your sound controls click on properties ---> click on porthole selection labled (recording) and ok it and make sure stereo mix/play control is ticked or whatever your system volume labled is.

hope that helps

[radiofrogmore]

thanx i will c if its worked now

[radiofrogmore]

nope.

still a silent stream.

[Joshcoombs]

1) Is the sound being registered in the vB bars in the DSP?

2) Are you in soundcard mode or winamp mode under in dsp menu?

3) Are your souncard drivers ok? and installed correctly?

4) Were you in the computers sound volume control panel or the soundcards (supplied with drivers?)

[radiofrogmore]

on winamp its being registered and i dont think the dsp is registering it, and im using my soundcard mode

[Joshcoombs]

answer the xtra questions added above as they are vital!
Its definetly your end.

[radiofrogmore]

1. no
2.soundcard
3.yes
4.sound volume control panel

[Joshcoombs]

can you possibly give me a screen dump of your volume panel both recording and playback and your dsp + winamp sorry :/I think theres something not turned up here. its not winamp as you have checked.

[radiofrogmore]

ok if u give me ur e-mail then i will e-mail it to u

[Joshcoombs]

see at bottom on my sig click on staff and post in tech section its much better

[radiofrogmore]

ok........i will c if i can lol

im not sure if i can.....erm i have turn everything on and unmuted everything though

[Joshcoombs]

Thats why lol

[radiofrogmore]

so because i have unmuted everything it means i cant play the music

[radiofrogmore]

more problems. now my server says this "yp.shoutcast.com gave extended error (Cannot see your station/computer (IP: 62.252.0.7:8000) from the Internet, disable Internet Sharing/NAT/firewall/ISP cache (Connection timed out))"

and i havnt got my firewalls turned on, no interent sharing devices or software, and about an hour ago the server wasnt doing it.

[Joshcoombs]

Do you have windows xp by any chance?
