Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Ok...I have Icecast and Oddcast installed and working. I have port 8000 forwarded to my computer. The server is up and running and I can listen to it over my LAN. I set up an address with dyndns so that my listeners could get to it a bit better. However, trying to access the address tries to log them into my router, and not the radio station. Using the address with :8000 at the end just times out. same for :8000/stream.m3u.

Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong, and how to fix it? I changed the <hostname> tag to the address I setup, but that didn't work.

From your description, your router isn't forwarding the requests on the port to the internal machine. You have to configure the NAT/firewall if you server is behind it.

That is what it seems like, but I've double and triple checked now and my router says that port 8000 is properly forwarded to my computer, as does the port test. I've tried changing the port Icecast uses to something else along with the proper forwarding with still no success.

note that we don't know what you are running exactly, but your own machine may be running a firewall itself so you may need to check that requests can get through there as well. You should be able to connect to the server from the machine itself, that will verify that it's working and listening on a particular port. Other than that, you could use a packet sniffer like tcpdump/wireshark etc to check for request coming in.
