If a warning pops up about allowing a program through the Firewall allow it through.

Tip: Also unblock the port you wish to stream from on your Broadband Router. Port forwarding uses ports 8000 and 8001.

If all goes to plan you should now have running shoutcast server. People should be able to listen to your stream if you have enough bandwidth.

If you don't have a great amount of bandwidth you may need to pay a host for a DNAS server.

If you want a public stream listed on the SHOUTCAST YP you will need to create an Authhash

I don't see the point listing your station on the Shoutcast YP anyway as listeners tend to tune in from websites or other links on social media.
