Can't make it work =(

[3xp0]

Hi everybody!
I installed server... I guess configured it right, but when I'm starting it evereything seems good, before somebody would try to connect... then I got message that server unavailable, disconnecting.
Also I didn't understand how to make list for playing?

[Tom]

From what you have described it sounds like there is no source connected to the server. You need a source and this is usually in the form of Winamp with the SHOUTcast DSP. This will allow you to broadcast whatever Winamp is playing so you would make a playlist in Winamp and play that to broadcast a list.

Well, I made a usual list in Winamp... how I can make it play to server? I'm sorry... i'm lame =(

Here are the needed steps to get up and running. Verify you have done them or do them and see if that helps.

1) Download the DNAS. You can find it here: http://www.shoutcast.com/download/license.phtml
2) Run the file you just downloaded, this will install the DNAS.
3) Download the DSP. You can find it here: http://www.shoutcast.com/downloads/s...2b-windows.exe
3) Run the file you downloaded and this will install the DSP into Winamp.
4) In the Start menu find the "Edit SHOUTcast DNAS configuration" and change the password to something other then "changeme". You can also take this time to change your listener count and port base if you wish.
5) Open Winamp and load the DSP (Ctrl + P > DSP/Effect > Nullsoft SHOUTcast Source)
6) In the window that pops up go to "Output" highlight "Output 1" and press "Connection".
7) For the address leave it at localhost if the DNAS is on the same machine, otherwise put in the IP of the machine with the DNAS.
8) If you changed the port in step 4 then put the value you entered in here.
9) Change the password to what you entered in step 4.
10) Change the "Encoder" to 1.
11) Click on the "Encoder" tab.
12) Select "Encoder 1" and change the type to "MP3 Encoder"
13) Set the "Encoder Settings" to the quality you want.
14) Start the DNAS (Start > SHOUTcast DNAS > SHOUTcast DNAS).
15) Play a song in Winamp and press "Connect" under the "Output" tab of the DSP.

Yeah it's up and running. You may want to add a title and all that other stuff when you get a chance. To do so in the DSP: Output tab > Yellowpages > Description field also you can fill in the other stuff.

Give this link for people to try to connect to you: http://24.164.94.114:8000/listen.pls

As far as those entries from your logs those aren't errors. That is just a log of people connecting and disconnecting... although it does seem odd the same IP kept trying and only stayed on for a few seconds and only got 8192 bytes sent.
