Help - Not Sure About Connection Properties

jorosar · 21st November 2004, 16:59

Hello all

I am trying to host a SHOUTCAST radio station off my laptop. The problem is I'm at university and I have no clue what firewalls or proxies my connections go through before going out to the WWW, and I don't know how to find out. Can anyone help?

Cheers,
Joro

that sure is the problem, most of the times they block ports or have firewalls you cannot change

To get into specifics, I have set up SAM2 with Shoutcast so that I can be heard from within the university network (tried and tested). In other words, university dorms can hear me fine.

However, I want to be able to let Internet people listen in to my music as well. This is my situation (please note I'm not too technically competent but I do appreciate you guys can help me better with as full an explanation as I can provide):

I have an IP address on the internal network 129.31.68.51

However, when I take my proxy off (IE, Internet Options) (N.B. I don't need a proxy to connect to the internet, I just use the university's proxy to make it faster), my IP address is 155.198.63.112.

Now, I'm no expert, but I think incoming connections go through a router with INTERNET address 155.198.63.112, and then to my LOCAL address 129.31.68.51 - the problem is, how can someone listen in? I know the address of the router and my internal address, so I *KNOW* everything I need to know to "find" my radio station - how to point to it?

well i can't acces your link http://155.198.63.112:8000 so it seems to me you haven't forwarded the ports 8000 and 8001 in your router config. ( they need to be opened to the internet)

The problem is I don't know if it's a router, that's the only logical conclusion I came to after thinking about why I have "2 IP's".

The only IP I have is my internal IP and I came across the other one by chance. I don't own the router and I'm pretty sure that is the router belonging to the dorms or the university. I don't even know if it's a router.

That's why I need a way of finding out what the heck this thing is, and I have its IP address...

You will not be able to make your stream available to the outside world unless you put the DNAS outside of the firewall (on the internet) and send your source there.

The whole purpose of having the gateway/firewall/NAT at the university is to allow outgoing connections, not inbound ones [this is protection].
