Icecast - Jan 2006 - icecast and liveice configuration...cannot connect

I am a newbie, i apologize for my ignorance.
I have installed icecast and liveice on my box at home and to my
knowledge I believe both of these are working correctly with each
other.  However when I try to connect with winamp it is unable to do
so.  I've been searching through the archives and found something
along the lines of modifying hosts.allow and hosts.deny files.  Has
anyone had to edit these files in order to get their icecast server
working?  I'm also confused because my webpage is working just fine
and I did not have to edit anything special to allow clients to
connect to it.

Thanks in advance,
Shashi

Hi,

hosts.allow and hosts.deny aren't needed for Icecast2.  Icecast 1.x is 
deprecated and unsupported, and while the odd person using it may still be 
on this list, I think most have upgraded by now as most of the 
functionality of Icecast 1.x is now in 2.x and a lot more besides.

I've not used Liveice lately, but again you should be sure you have the 
latest version (see liveice.sf.net).

If you've got all this, what are you trying specifically and are you seeing 
anything in the error log?

Geoff.
