Confused with server status script

GaryW · 24th August 2003, 09:45

Hello, i am new to hosting a shoutcast radio, and i just got the radio to work through my netgear router. i am told my radio can be heard through the shoutcast listing link at http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutca...e=filename.pls but im not sure if others can view the actual site where im streaming at http://192.168.0.3:8000

i dont know if this is why i cant do this or not, but i am very frustrated because i cant figure out a simple script that will tell the website visitor if my station (192.168.0.3:8000) is online or not. can anybody help my confused mind?

That is an internal network IP and is limited to you own network. It is not a valid IP address on the open network. Try finding your actual IP address:

i tried using my actual ip from that site and came up with
Event log:
<08/24/03@03:45:53> [SHOUTcast] DNAS/win32 v1.9.2 (Nov 25 2002) starting up...

Revert any changes you made to the DNAS and ONLY change the link you use to launch the stream.

Note:
If your router doesn't support local loopback then machines on the same lan as the DNAS (you) need to use the lan ip of the DNAS to connect/listen.
Machines not on the same lan as the DNAS (the rest of the world) need to use the real, world-visible ip of the DNAS to connect/listen.
