Streaming Music to Internet

If anyone likes smooth jazz and blues, I am streaming music to the internet at:

http://192.168.1.2:2790/

Let me know if you can connect to it. Thanks.

Peace,

You gotta find out your external ip addy and do a 2790 port forward to your computer in the internal network.

How do you do that schrags? I am picking up the stream on my x30 with wmp10. BTW...I thank you for your web site. It is what made my sig possible.

Peace,

First go to start>run and type in "cmd". Then type "ping yourcomputername" If you don't know your computer name right click on my computer> properties then the computer name tab and it will be next to full computer name. So my pc name is schrags so i would type in "ping schrags" to ge my internal ip address. Your internal ip would be the address next to "repy from" It should be something like 192.168.2.xxx . Now go to http://192.168.2.1 and log into your router. Judging by your internal ip addy that you had in your first post you probably have an SMC router. So once you log in there should be something like "NAT" tab. Click on that then click on virual server. Under the private ip enter the last 3 digits of your internal ip address which you got earlier. Then under service port enter 2790. then under type choose both (don't know which one it would be). Then make sure the enabled is checked. Then click apply. Now go to www.whatismyipaddress.com to get your external ip address. Then add a :2790 to it and it SHOULD work. It works for you and your x3 cuz its on your internal network.

I'm sorry... SMC's are usually 192.168.2.1 not 192.168.1.2 (Read over it too quickly) but you should still see a similar port forwarding somewhere in the router.

BTW: linsys a routers are generally 192.168.1.1. You can also go to start>run>cmd and at the command prompt type ipconfig. It will give you a few numbers. Next to default gateway is the ip address of your router

EDIT: almost forgot to mention, your external ip changes every few days unless you tell your router not to. But dont worry about that yet, just get it working, then you can deal with that.

I just checked to see if it works, and it gave a Page Not Found error

Lol no idea why i forgot ipconfig to get internal ip addy. Depending on your ISP, your ip will or will not change. In my case... my ip never changes unless i changed routers.

I think it has less to do with your isp (who can change it if they want) and more with the router. I had a router that renewed its external ip every few days. When i replaced it with my server (that was fun, webserver, dhcpcd server, ftp server, ssh server etc. very useful) the server never requests a new ip and i never get it (my isp is rcn). The only problem is that rcn blocks port 80, but that has no application for things like ssh or ftp or even streaming music (im going to set up a shoutcast server at some point...)
