I've attached my Icecast files to this e-mail. As far as I can tell, the access.log file shows no indication of listener activity, at least I can see no correspondence of log lines that match when the listeners appear in the error.log file. Is there a way to increase the logging level in this file? Should I be able to see listeners attaching in this file? In the error.log file I can see no indication of a two listeners attempting to connect. I can see where listener-a connects, but there is no indication of the listener-b attempting to connect. I can see listener-a disconnect, and then I can see listener-b connect, but there is no indication of listener-a trying to reconnect. It is possible that after listener-a connects, Icecast is not event getting a connect message from listener-b because something else is blocking it out (Windows or the router)? Maybe I need to install a packet listener on my system an watch the ethernet traffic? Possible problems are 1. My router. But I think not because the same router supports multiple listeners with my old computer, and both computers are connected to the same router. 2. My new computer is Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate RTM (with two ethernet connections). My old computer is Windows XP (with one ethernet connection). It would help if someone else could tell me if they have Icecast working correctly (or not) on Windows 7. 3. Icecast. I am running Icecast 2.3.1 on both computers (ignore what I said earlier about 3.2.1), and using the same icecast.xml file (except the ports are different). This is likely not the problem. Any more advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Eric -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Probably down to the win7 firewall or TCP stack limiting connections, in theory a packet sniffer would still see the packets getting to the win7 network interface but would drop the connection immediately. karl.

[Icecast] Fwd: Re: Can't support more than one listener
Just an update... I still haven't gotten around to troubleshooting why Icecast on my Windows 7 system doesn't support more than one listener, that's a mini project. I did install the shoutcast server on my Windows 7 system and it seems to have no trouble supporting more than one listener. I'll report back if I learn anything new about IceCast.
