*sigh* i tried all of your suggestions. No go STILL. I've upgraded to RRR 7.10, Reciever Manager 1.03, and the same results. I can get shoutcast going on any other computer, just not the reciever. It just freezes. It wouldn't make sense for it to be a router issue if it works on every other computer, without any special rules for shoutcast on the router. Any other ideas??
