"Cannot see computer from internet"

[Chafedyo]

My server says that it "cannot see my computer from the internet". I cant turn off windows firewall or anything(no administrative access). If I use someone else as a server, would it work? And how wold I do that?

I tried this a while back. Im just retrying and wondering if anyone might have a way around Nak thing? I already found out that I would have to pay for Hosting.

NAK doesnt mean you need to get paid hosting.

read the sticky posts and you can learn you can stream from your home internet connection.

EH, I know I know. Nak is a problem with the firewall and such. But I dont want to use someone elses server because I would have to pay.

If you don't have administrator access to your own computer, or to the network you are on, then no, there is no way around it.

I never said you need to use someone elses computer! you need to configure the network hardware including the internet connection to forward to your PC/. Forget it ifyou are trying to do this at school and you are not the network admin.

if you are doing this at home, then you need to do the work. not get someone elses pc going. you are in control, unless this is mommy and daddys pc and you are not the one with the passwords to routers or firewalls

lol, its a school issued laptop. I used to have an older laptop working though (stopped using it when I got this). Ill set it back up if I learn how to fix the problem. But on that computer, even after shutting off windows firewall and all else, it still had the same problem.

You do have to allow shoutcast to access the port that it's using, but you also have to do port forwarding on the router.

This sounds more complicated than it is. You have to tell the router that if it recieves requests for data from www on the shoutcast port, that the router is to get the data from a machine on the lan.

It works the same way for setting up a web server of any kind. If you look at your router manual, it will have instructions for setting up a web server. Usually that will be port 80, but it's the same thing. Just insert your port number anywhere they talk about port 80.

Yep, you still had the same problem. You dint set it up right

regardless if its a laptop from school, are you trying to broadcast on the school network you need to have their router configured to allow port forwarding (3rd time I said that), if this is at home then you need setup port forwarding on your network/internet connection if at all possible.
