<DIV>I use a few raspberry pi’s and leave the icecast settings as localhost, and
run darkice on the same Pi, I have let the router know to pass requests to port
8000 to the IP of the Pi.</DIV>
<DIV>Using your external IP is not right, if your server is say 192.168.1.21
thats the port forward, just be sure that the ports you use are in the router
too, udp/tcp I use both myself watch for typos.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think you are looking into it too far, its basic really, sometimes I find
rebooting the router (depends on type) will open the ports after a config change
within the router, find its system settings in router, and use the reboot option
if you can find it, else a cold boot – switch it off for 30sec.</DIV>

<DIV>Hi Alan,</DIV>
<DIV>In actual fact, I’m having to test everything (server, streamer and player)
on the same machine, which is configured in my router to be the server. I have
opened the port specified in my config and the port after it and I have set it
to allow both TCP and UDP, as I didn’t know which it used.</DIV>
<DIV>I have also tried setting the hostname to my external IP address rather
than a domain, and have even tried linking the port to a bound address, nothing.
In fact if I specify a bind-address it actually comes up with an error when
starting the server itself.</DIV>
<DIV>Cheers.</DIV>
