Tis a little slow, I am disconnected now though. I think that could be due to some disturbances with my connnection.

http://127.0.0.1:8000/listen.pls

127.0.0.1 is the loopback ip address and basically means "me". Search Google for more information.

Remember, lan machines (you) need to use the lan ip of the DNAS to connect/listen.
Non-lan machines (the rest of the world) need to use the real, world-visible ip of the DNAS to connect/listen.

Usually, your station is on the SHOUTcast yp within 15 minutes of the first "yp touched" DNAS message. If you stop and start your server, the timer resets. As Ron Popeil says, "Set it, and forget it!"

If you think you're having bandwidth problems, check out the Sticky post titled:
SHOUTcast: Important Info & Answers to FAQs. READ ME!

Scroll down a bit and look for the section titled:
1. DNAS Stuff -> Bandwidth -> DSLReports Bandwidth tester(Only be concerned with the UPLOAD bandwidth) 2. DNAS Stuff -> Bandwidth -> CasterClub's Listener Calculator
3. DNAS Stuff -> Bandwidth -> CasterClub's Bandwidth Calculator

Use 1 to find your upload.
Use 2 to determine the number of listeners you can support at your selected streaming bitrate.

Jay (KXRM) also has a Bandwidth Calculator.

Thanks for all the help mate.

I just have one final question:
"Remember, lan machines (you) need to use the lan ip of the DNAS to connect/listen."
Any idea of how I obtain the Ip for my type of machine?

I tried looking for answers in Google, but it was to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a milion

SHould be in your network settings

**FesterHead** · 30 January 2003, 17:54

Or, using a web browser on the DNAS machine visit http://www.whatismyip.com

**Josh_Star** · 31 January 2003, 04:26

Ok thanks, but I've tried almost everything and it still fails to work. lol

I got my Ip from the website that you stated, I launched Winamp, and the shoutcast server, after that I connected.

The log is as follows:
Event log:

<01/31/03@13:01:24> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com added me successfully
===========================
I don't think I have bandwidth problems. The problem I am facing is that I am unable to connect or listen to my broadcast when I connect to: http://(my ip):8000/listen.pls . I get a blank, "page not found".

The shoutcast server is operating from my computer, and is not on any other web server. Could that be a problem? I tried re-looking at the Installation procedure and reading the threads available, but I can't seem to find what I am doing wrong.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I really hope you can help me with this.
Thanks.
Josh

Remember, machines on the same lan as the DNAS need to use the lan ip of the DNAS to connect/listen (this is you).

Machines not on the lan as the DNAS need to use the real, world-visible ip of the DNAS to connect/listen (this is the rest of the world).

I see a "yp.shoutcast.com added me successfully" entry in your DNAS log. This is a 'Good Thing'. The next 'Good Thing' is "yp touched".

**Josh_Star** · 31 January 2003, 07:23

Thanks fasterhead. I think I understand you now.

I was wondering if any one could do me a slight favour, by clicking on the link below and see if you hear anything?

http://202.156.2.202:8000/listen.pls

Thanks again.

hmmm...strange. The address I posted contains my Ip number, since I am running the server from my computer.

looks like I have to try it all over again.

Thanks.
