Yeah, I rebooted the server. No go. Are you saying that Icecast was reliable where shoutcast wasn't, or are you saying even Icecast wasn't. I can try getting an Icecast server, if you think it's worth it, but I hear that doesn't really work either.

Importance: High This is why I don't use shout cast on nice cast. I could never get it to work, or it would say not connected but I would be transmitting anyway. I use ice cast instead, or did when I was broadcasting. It was and still is unreliable. did you make sure the mount point was not filled in not that itwoudl matter. but just in case? I would try reading the server and see if that helps. Good luck.
