Icecast Streaming Media Server

As newbie I am trying to configure Nullsoft SHOUTcast Source Winamp pluging and I do not know where to submit Icecast2 source username.
Should I use something like user@password in password field?

With the icy protocol, there is no username field. It is assumed that only one stream exists so only a password is required. With the icecast2 method (like with the edcast plugin) you provide a username as well.

I using icecast too. Version of Icecast of my choise is 2.3.2.

When i try to use winamp with shoutcast dsp plugin as source for streamin (192.168.100.2 , windows xp), i have stuck on "Receiving Authorization Responce". After 15 sec i have "Not connected".

The settings in dsp pluging are:
Output 1
Connection (I don't push "Yellowpages")
Address: 192.168.1.2
Port: 7999
(I find some info, that i must use port from Icecast -1 for connection from winamp, and how we see by logs is true, becouse 8000 port not answered - nothing in logs, when i try connect from plugin to 192.168.1.2:8000).

Password: hackme
Encoder: 1 (AAC LC Encoder, also i try mp3 and AAC+)

May be i must use ogg encoder? I was install which one from Ogg-Vorbis_encoder_v1-1.exe from official site. But i dont see ogg in the Shoutcast DSP plugin. But i can use ogg encoding for cd-grabbing.

In the log of icecast (running on linux, 192.168.1.2) i have something like that (my comment in log will be start with #):

yes, but you haven't said what your setup is like, for all we know, you haven't opened up the 2 sequential ports in a definition such as

<listen-socket>
<port>8000</port>
<shoutcast-mount>/mystream</shoutcast-mount>
</listen-socket>

do you get the status page on port 8000, is port 8001 open or blocked. From your description it sounds like the second port is blocked, causing the client to timeout.
