Hi, I created an Icecast 2.2.0 server in my Windows XP, and I am sending audio to it by using Winamp 2.95 with Oddcast. In the same machine that I am running Icecast, I open an Internet Explorer window and enter http://169.254.31.193:8000/live.m3u (my radio?s address). The radio can be heard without problems in Windows Media Player, even while Winamp is broadcasting audio to Icecast! Up to here, OK. However, my friends aren?t able to hear the radio by typing http://169.254.31.193:8000/live.m3u in their Internet Explorers. Message in this browser is "URL not found". This happens even while server is "running", Winamp is playing and Oddcast is "connected". Please, anyone has any hint or suggestion about it? Thank you very much for your attention and big embraces! Denis.
Make sure you setup port forwarding in your router if you have one. If you don't have a router and you have firewall software you will need to open up port 8000 on your firewall. If those fail your ISP may block port 8000 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Denis Paschoalinoto" <denis.paschoalinoto@gmail.com> To: <icecast@xiph.org> Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2005 12:12 PM Subject: [Icecast] Another person cannot hear my radio Hi, I created an Icecast 2.2.0 server in my Windows XP, and I am sending audio to it by using Winamp 2.95 with Oddcast.

It really shouldn't be used for this either. For more info see RFC 3330 at http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3330.html You're going to have to get the real IP address of this particular machine, as seen from the Internet, before this is going to work.

That IP looks self-assigned ... he is probably not even on a network with that machine. -Ian.
