SKYNET156 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-13-2009, 04:32 PM

I am trying to get my Winamp to work as a radio station, i downloaded the DSP plug in, and i do EVERYTHING it tells me too, and i still have no luck broadcasting my radio station

Does anyone use this application or can you point me in the direction of an application that will work for my radio station?

Are you using a router? You have open the port in the router if you have one.

i am using the modem provided by comcast, how would i open the router?

Soooooooo... you are not using a router like Linksys, D-Link etc.? Your computer is hooked directly to the cable modem via the LAN?

No, i am directly hooked up to LAN

ok... so a router is not the issue. What error messages are you seeing?

Go to this link...

Live Stream FAQ Page

and print it. Then read it a few times and follow it to the "t". Good luck...

Sorry OM but you're SOL, Commiecast doesn't allow servers on the network.

I have Comcast and run a Shoutcast server with Winamp.

I use a router with the modem so it was easy to set up port forwarding.

Here is a howto on opening up a port with windows firewall. Not sure if it will help but your firewall is probably blocking port 8000 and 8001.

Or just turn off XP firewall and see if that resolves your problem.

Just a thought.

tcg... It could be the firewall but I don't think he has all the software installed. Sounds like he has the DSP plugin going but doesn't have the sc_serv.exe file running... or he'd be telling us about errors? I have Comcast and have been streaming 24/7 for 7 years. In fact... I even asked a Comcast tech about it. Granted... he probably didn't know what I was talking about but I did get them to note my account about this. I think the key here is to limit connections. Stream to 10 and no problem... try a thousand and somebody going to notice.

kb2vxa: Have you ever gone 40 in a 35 mph zone? That's against the rules too!? :-)

Yeah, and Comcrap can kindly go ^$% them selves. That maybe their policy, but many people run server-like applications all the time. Examples include; security cameras, weather stations, and scanner feeds. We're only talking about 15k max. Crap, I upload using P2P!

"I have Comcast and run a Shoutcast server with Winamp."

Did I say it's physically impossible? It can lead to network bandwidth problems and unexpected complications, not to mention those encountered with violation of terms and conditions of the contract. I won't go out on a limb here with too much information but I'll just say there are work-arounds to keep everybody happy.

Bad boy bad boy, watcha gonna do? Watcha gonna do when they come for you? (;->)
