Hang on a minute. I've just seen that you said that you can connect to your SC using http://dyndns:9000. Do you mean this works both inside and outside of your network?
If this only works from inside your network, or doesn't work at all then the problem is with the router (trying it from inside doesn't always work, it depends on the router so don't worry about it not working from inside). If it works from outside or both then I think that the problem has been misinterpreted. > Do you mean that you can't stream music, you can get to the SC web pages > but can't stream?

If your music isn't MP3 > or at the required rate it will be transcoded using LAME. (I can't > recall if it is part of the package.) I wrote the above block but I'm having second thoughts about it. It is still valid but I'm not sure it is the problem. Time for a basic connectivity check. From the server can you access machines on the Internet eg ping forums.slimdevices.com you should get a response or from a web browser. If not then check that you have configured the networking correctly on your server. I'm beginning to suspect that the default route hasn't been configured (or configured correctly) especially if you are not using DHCP from the server. Performing an actual check as above is best. You can also look to see what the server thinks it should do by using the route command in a terminal window. There should be a number of lines but one which is important is the default destination. Not sure how it will be labled on your machine. Destination is usually either * or default with gateway the IP address of your router (or a name that resolves to the IP address, the name may not be one you recognise but the IP address should be correct). The interface should be correct and probably eth0. As an aside... If you are only streaming outside your network using say winamp then you don't need port 3483 forwarded it all. You only need that for SoftSqueeze. If you are exposing port 9000 I'd recommend that you enable a password on the SC web interface to stop a) someone changing your config/playing tracks at 2am. b) someone stealing your music. c) someone trying to use the open port to attack your server. I believe it has been recommended before that the preferred way of making your music accessible is to use SSL. (SoftSqueeze also has an SSL client built in.) -- Zaragon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zaragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14577 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44889 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
