connection refused, but now for my ftp also!!!

cwalker · 20th November 2004, 04:50

I am getting the connection refused error when trying to broadcast. The server is not seeing my computer or my IP. I have had an ftp running for a while now it cant be seen either when I try top acces it. Is this because of something my ISP has started doing?

You didn't give us enough info!

though, its probably your router or firewall....

what info do you need I have had an ftp site that was working fine now I can not see my IP from outside my netowrk. The shoutcast server on my IP cannot be seen either. I have a router and it is configured correctly for port forwarding I have done it several times before. Since I got the connection refused error (which in the help pages it says most likely is becasue you ISP uses a proxy of some sort) I am wondering if it is possible that my ISP all the sudden started using something that would hide my IP address from incoming requests. I have done all the trouble shooting and am almost 100% sure I have set everything up correctly. If the problem is my ISP using a web cache or proxy is there a way around it or am I screwed since it is out of my hands.

If they blocked your ports, the only thing you can do is outsource your DNAS. You can still push a live stream out to it even with incoming ports blocked.

Why would they block my ports? I have not had anything downloaded or uploaded from my ftp in abotu 6 months. Wouldnt they notify me first if I was exceeding some kind od bandwidth limitation?

Also when i use radio toolbox port scanner I get this message:

Reason Given: Connection refused
More about this error: This essentially means that the port is open to the internet but has no services associated with it. There is no firewall protection on this port.

I t says no services associated with it but when I connect the server to the output source(Winamp) it shows it is running and configured fine. The problem is stillthat my Ip http://myserver:myport/ can't be seeI wonder if the IP I get from whatismyip.com is my real IP. it is also the same Ip that my router shows me having, so I would think the IP I am using would be correct. ports forwarded correctly and everything. No firewall issues. AAUUGGHHHHH
