I went to shoutcast.com and did a search and am coming up on the list of servers (I even downloaded the .pls file for my server to make sure I had the IP entered correctly), yet vbulletin is not working with shoutcast. I have read through this thread, and this seems to be a common problem, but I have also read where people have tweaked it and gotten it fixed, but they didn't say exactly how they did it. Any ideas or help on where to look first?

One setting that has me confused is "Please enter in the Update time of your shoutcast station.
Note: seconds untill cache update." Perhaps this is where my problem is? Where do I find out this info?

I had the same problem streaming from my PC,always showing on my forum as offline what i did was use port 80,and it worked straight away,my forum host for someunknown reason didnt like port 8000
