http address

hi, I've set up the server on my computer & its streaming, but I'm not sure what the http:// address is to get winamp to locate the audio stream. My computer is 193.1.214.34 & port is 8000, so would that be http://193.1.214.34:8000 ? Also winamp keeps buffering when playing radio audio? any way to change settings to avoid this ? (I think someone answered this question before but the solution didn't work)

thanks very much !

The buffering can only be solved with a higher connection such as cable, ISDN, T1, etc.

And yes, that address should work. I don't know a whole lot about shoutcast, so verify that at the ShoutCast discussions forum

thank you !

If your trying to open the stream in internet explorer or some other web browser, try this...
http://193.1.214.34:8000/listen.pls

note:
listen.pls does not actually exist, its virtual file embeded into the shoutcast server which it streams to winamp which inturn recognizes as a playlist file and plays it as if it were a regular mp3 playlist, but from the server.

You can also embed the link into a webpage with an html tag similar to this:

<a href="http://193.1.214.34:8000/listen.pls">
CLICK HERE TO LISTEN
</a>

Result will look like this:
CLICK HERE TO LISTEN

If you have winamp open and you select to "open url", you can connect to the stream simply by typeing any varient of these:

EG...
http://193.1.214.34:8000/listen.pls
http://193.1.214.34:8000
193.1.214.34:8000
