Do you mean your source client can't connect to icecast, or do you
mean you can't connect to the stream to listen to it from outside your
local network?

If the former, you've probably got a firewall in place that's blocking
connections to icecast.

If the latter, you've probably misconfigured the <hostname> parameter
in the icecast configuration file (the documentation explains this one
clearly).
