8 You mean you have a shoutcast server running on your machine? Are you
9 behind a NAT?
10
11 To see if you're behind a NAT, type:
12
13 /sbin/ifconfig
14
15 and note the "inet addr" of your ethernet device (usually "eth0").
16 Then, go here:
17
18 http://www.myipaddress.com/show-my-ip-address
19
20 and check if the IP address reported there is the same as the "inet
21 addr" reported by ifconfig. If they are not the same, you are behind a
22 NAT. That means you will have to "forward" port 8000 in the device your
23 PC is connected to (a DSL modem/router/gateway, for example).
