Just to let you know.
No one in the world can access "http://127.0.0.1:8000/index.html"
That IP/Address is for your PC loop back only.

You IP should Not contain:
127.*.*.* or 192.*.*.* or 10.*.*.*

You accress to be accessed by anyone outside of your Home Network should be
the WAN/External IP address that is asigned to you by your ISP.

Go here: ( http://www.whatismyip.com/ )

Look for:

Your IP Address Is:
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

This should be your WAN/External IP Address.

If you have Port Forwarding Enabled or your Modem/Router is in DMS Mode then anyone should be able to access your IP http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:8000/Listen.pls

127.0.0.1 or 192.168.X.X is for Home Network ONLY!.


More information on "LoopBack" can be found here ( http://what-is-what.com/what_is/127.0.0.1.html )

Ok on that Site it shows me my IP like 91.58.***.***
Can i really Post that IP ?! Or someone can Hack my Pc or something then ?!
I dont know really much about ip things soo...

[Scottie1972]

Yes you can get hacked. Every website can be hacked.
That is all part of being a WebMaster and running a web server or any type.

[Napster1488]

I just tryd the ip adress + port and /listen.pls but it wont open it ?!

[Scottie1972]

If you have everything setup right.
You should see something like this when you browse to the ShoutCast Server.
IF you have your Modem/Router setup right.
All allow InBound Traffic to your server via your WAN/External Address.

Forget the Listen.pls file. That is the last thing you need to think about right now.
Just worry about getting your Network stuff worked out.

Im sure it does.
But only YOU can see or access the ShoutCast Server using this address: ( http://127.0.0.1:8000/index.html )
ONLY YOU!

Even in the .pls file your WAN address will be seen.
All I have to is open it in Notepad. This IF you have the sever, the modem/router, and all the firewall and ports open.
Plus allowing ALL Inbound Traffic to that computer that is running the server software.(Apache,MySQL,FTP,ShoutCast) any type of Web Interface Server.
