There could be many reasons that would cause this, but the most common is not having the correct port unblocked if you are using anything else but 80. You also need to check your settings closely as some of them are case sensitive.

MJ,

double click on your encoded feed and in the configuration click on Basic Setup, and then tell us exactly what you have set in there under general settings EXCEPT for your password. Leave that part out.

You should have:
Bitrate: 16
Quality: 0
Samplerate: 22050
Channels: 1 (if you're bcasting in mono which is usually the case)
Encode type: MP3 LAME
Server type: Icecast
Server IP: sources.scanamerica.us
Server port: 80
Password: whatever you were issued by the server admin
mountpoint: /name (whatever you were issued by the server admin)
Reconnect: 10

Roy brings up a good point, if you're running that computer through a router, you'll need to do 2 things.

1. configure the computer for a static ip. Give it a static ip that works with your router.
2. go into the router configuration and set port forwarding to that static ip you assigned to the computer and open up port 80 for tcp.
