In your router opens the ports 8000 and 8001 with TCP protocol and
listen on port 8000:
178.79.148.185:8000
If port 8000 is busy with another service, you must listen on port 8001:
178.79.148.185:8001

Check the configuration of Icecast2 (*icecast.xml* file). If your public
IP is 178.79.148.185 and the port is 8000:
	<hostname>178.79.148.185</hostname>
		<port>8000</port>
If you make changes to the configuration of Icecast2, you must restart
it for the changes to take effect:
/etc/init.d/icecast2 restart
