Any Linux SHOUTcast broadcasters here? I need some help! SOS

[jslmg]

Is there anybody here who is successfully streaming over the SHOUTcast server for LINUX? I have a big, big problem, and no one seems to know how to help.

I am running RedHat 9 with kernel 2.4.8-20. No matter what I try, I cannot get my Linux server to penetrate what it SAYS is a firewall-- dreaded "Disable your NAT/Firewall message" always comes up, and listeners are disconnected after exactly 62 seconds.

Yes, this has all the marks of a true firewall or network router problem, but the firewall has, by all accounts, been configured to open for SHOUTcast.

I have successfully streamed over the Mac Shoutcast server and the Windows server, and from the same IP address that I now have my Linux box on. I know how to configure a SHOUTcast server. I have set up iptables in my LInux box to open on the ports needed to stream (8000 and 8001), and other SHOUTcast users have confirmed that these iptable rules should do the trick:

# Firewall configuration written by lokkit
# Manual customization of this file is not recommended.
# Note: ifup-post will punch the current nameservers through the
# firewall; such entries will *not* be listed here.

So, if firewalling is not the problem, and the network I'm on DOES allow for broadcasting--I've been doing it for more than a year on Mac and Windows--then what else could be the problem?

Could the LAN driver possibly be causing a problem, for example?

Any Ideas would be very appreciated. I am patiently trying over and over to find a solution.

Thank you.

Have you tried entirely disabling your firewall? When troubleshooting firewall issues, I always start there. That will rule out any other problem right away,
