You're not sure what to put in the address box? How about the IP to connect to?

That would be the IP address of your SHOUTcast server. If local (same PC as Winamp), use 127.0.0.1

gamer001 · 18th September 2005, 13:58

Nope i used 127.0.0.1 <--- that ip and it still auto-Dissconects my brodcast

dotme · 18th September 2005, 14:01

You have installed SHOUTcast, right? (Just checking - you'd be surprised how many people miss that critical step)

gamer001 · 18th September 2005, 14:30

i downloaded the 2nd file in the dl list and i clicked the installer *shoutcast-dsp-1-9-0-windows.exe*

You need this too.

Next, read. Read a lot.

Lu's Setup Guide

Shoutcast is not for the weak. You'll have to work through install, and config, using the above page as a guide.

If you're any good with computers, you'll have it all done in an hour or less.

But... To make shoutcast work on the Internet, you will have to open ports in your router. So if you're at home and you do not have permission or ability to access your router, then the only person who will be able to hear your station is you...

I've just built a static-ip page if it helps any.

Take a deep breath, and read. The question of how to open firewalls has been addressed in many posts here. Take some initiative and work it out with forum searches and on line documentation. We're here to help when things go wrong, but you have to set it all up first...

Also, i run my own server, in address, i dont use 127.0.0.1, i use, localhost, it always works for me!

Evil Lu · 20th September 2005, 18:14

127.0.0.1 is localhost

Menchions · 20th September 2005, 18:42
