Hi Alan,<br>
<br>
Icecast set up is almost too easy:<br>
heres the checklist<br>
<br>
Give your server a fixed IP In Windows this is easy and there are
plenty of help files.<br>
Make sure you get the DNS number right. Various modem routers
default to 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254 or variants of 10.x.x.x<br>
<br>
in a console [ black screen with c:> under accessories] type
ipconfig <enter> to see what you have now.<br>
<br>
On your router set up port fowarding so the outside world connects
to your router on x.x.x.x and port 8000 is fowarded to the fixed IP
of your server.<br>
<br>
You can get in to your router by typing 192.168.1.1 [or whatever it
is] in a browser and the username admin password admin for 99% of
the time.<br>
<br>
Configure icecast.xml as below; this is from a linux server but
basically it's the same<br>
<br>
<pre wrap=""><icecast>
<!-- location and admin are two arbitrary strings that are e.g. visible
on the server info page of the icecast web interface
(server_version.xsl). -->
<location>putsomethinginhere</location>
<admin>youremail@somewhere/admin>
<limits>
<clients>100</clients> <--- note increases on defaults
<sources>20</sources>

<queue-size>524288</queue-size>
<client-timeout>30</client-timeout>
<header-timeout>15</header-timeout>
<source-timeout>10</source-timeout>
<!-- If enabled, this will provide a burst of data when a client
first connects, thereby significantly reducing the startup
time for listeners that do substantial buffering. However,
it also significantly increases latency between the source
client and listening client. For low-latency setups, you
might want to disable this. -->
<burst-on-connect>1</burst-on-connect>
<!-- same as burst-on-connect, but this allows for being more
specific on how much to burst. Most people won't need to
change from the default 64k. Applies to all mountpoints -->
<burst-size>65535</burst-size>
</limits>
<authentication>
<!-- Sources log in with username 'source' -->
<source-password>somepassword</source-password>

<relay-password>somepassword</relay-password>
<!-- Admin logs in with the username given below -->
<admin-user>admin</admin-user>
<admin-password>somepassword</admin-password>
</authentication>
<!-- set the mountpoint for a shoutcast source to use, the default if not
specified is /stream but you can change it here if an alternative is
wanted or an extension is required
<shoutcast-mount>/live.nsv</shoutcast-mount>

</directory>
-->
<!-- This is the hostname other people will use to connect to your server.
It affects mainly the urls generated by Icecast for playlists and yp
listings. -->
<hostname>192.168.0.30</hostname> <-- this is where you put the server "name"
<!-- You may have multiple <listener> elements -->
<listen-socket>
<port>8000</port>
<!-- <bind-address>127.0.0.1</bind-address> --> <-- the <!-- and --> comment the line out

<!--<master-password>hackme</master-password>-->
<!-- setting this makes all relays on-demand unless overridden, this is
useful for master relays which do not have <relay> definitions here.

-->

This should help<br>
