Ports are open on my router and i don't use a software firewall. Initially i thought it was the router as i have had port forwarding problems with it since i bought it (Netgear DG834PN)...but i have checked open ports and also the radio toolbox shows my IP as having a server online!!
Even though radio toolbox tells me i have a server online, ports are open...the stream connection "Starting stream > connection closed" never stays active for more than 10 seconds at a time. Also, my DDNS link
http://artanisgames.servegame.org:9660/ doesn't work (or IP address for that matter)....I have checked my DNS server, renewed IP, rebooted router and my system...TIME and TIME again.
I'm running mp3 encoding.
It's funny you know, i'm not an internet DJ or anything like that, all i wanna do is be able to stream some music for a few friends and it's bugging me because i can't get it to work!
So, anymore info you need then let me know....i'll be watching this post like a hawk.
Anyone that can help me or shed some light onto what could be wrong, i'll email you a cookie.
If its something staring me in the face which i should have noticed, you can have my word i'll never show my face again
Lol...thanks.
EDIT: The Shoutcast YP now lists my server...and even the song title, genre and artist. But when i try and click "tune in" and open the playlist file with VLC....i get Unable to open 'http://86.139.253.23:9660'"
