Icecast - Aug 2004 - Streaming Winamp to Icecast - can't seem to connect?

Hi,
newbie here....

I have SAM+Winamp set up and streaming ok to Shoutcast and Live365, but have
set up an icecast server on a FreeBSD box here - compiled ok and seems to
run ok. Well, It shows its running in logs and so on. althought the compile
didn't want to know about -pthreads -
Anyway, connecting to the stream with http://ip:port with Winamp - nothing?

I'm pretty sure I have the conf file set up ok and all that.
Without going into sending all that detail - is there something obvious I
need to do other than compile icecast, install it, configure it, then stream
to that port with SAM+Winamp?

thanks
Bob

Hi:

You need to use a port one lower than your configured port if you stream
from winamp.  The shoutcast/live365 servers listen on baseport+1 for
incoming connections whereas icecast does not.  So if you use 8000 on
icecast, connect to 7999 with the winamp dsp plugin.

Ahh. So that's what that means.
Thanks. I'll give it another go.
