Hello,

I use remote streaming to be able to listen to my music at work. For
that I use Winamp and the stream.mp3 link. My slimserver is password
protected.

It all worked fine for some time but after restarting Slimserver (no
changes, just restart) I try to connect (using winamp) to
http://my.host.com:9000/stream.mp3 but it fails: [HTTP/1.0 403
Forbidden]. This probably related to the fact that I have to enter a
password. But I gave that password the first time I connected to the
slimserver (months ago) and now Winamp does not ask for it anymore. I
have not changed the password since. Using the link:
http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:9000/stream.mp3 does not work.

So I used my IP-address to connect to my slimserver:
http://1.2.3.4:9000/stream.mp3 WinAmp asked for username password
(still the same) and I was able to listen to music again.

Yesterday I installed the latest version of Slimserver so I had to
restart it again and now I can't get winamp to connect and because I
have used both name and ip-address for my server I am out of options.

The strange thing is: winamp will ask for a password the first time you
connect to a URL. It has to be given in the format: user#password. After
that connecting to the same URL will never pop-up a password question.
(It will just work). Now it just tries to connect and then finds out it
is not allowed. I don't know why: I can not provide a password (winamp
does not aks it) and it looks like winamp is not using the password  it
has cached. 

I think this is related to winamp not slimserver but maybe someone out
there has had the same problem and can help me. 

Any suggestions?
