not knowing what you're what you're connecting to, I'd suggest removing the DJ / User ID you've entered as that is only needed when connecting to specific servers.

Im wondering .. have you ticked the Use Shoutcast v1 mode (for legacy servers).... if not .. and you are in fact using a v1, then you get a cipher request but it wont connect.

have a look on the output page of the shoutcast?? down the bottom in bold type

not sure just throwing it out there

I've noticed that ShoutCast v2 can sometimes be buggy and cause this too. The documentation actually says to enable legacy mode then, (which obviously shouldn't be done on a v2 DNAS), but then creates a different error. For me, I had to wait awhile before reconnecting, even if I restarted the server, before it'd let me connect again. It's indeed an odd bug, and reminds me of how v1 will sometimes also require you to restart the server after a DJ has been connected for a while and disconnects. My best guess is that something isn't properly releasing from memory in both versions.
