Hi,
I'm able to see the list of stations, but I get a "internet radio station is unavailable error" with every station I try.
I'm using 4.4 on a NSLU2 server and MP101 client.
Thoughts anyone?

have you set DNS and Gateway correct on the NSLU2 ?
Can the NSLU2 ping
http://www.shoutcast.com ?

how should I set up that it will work? the NAS has the gateway which is my router and anything else is dynamic. Should I use static adresses? is there anything else that I should know?

hi christian, if you ask me: the NAS receives the IP and the DNS from my router which is a FritzBox 7170. Should is work if I enter the details manually? I haven't tried that yet... Thanks!

the NSLU2 is in general only picking up the gateway but not the DNS
if possible you should try to ping
http://www.shoutcast.com

http://www.shoutcast.com ? From the NAS? How??

To run shoutcast radio successfully through twonkymedia, the following network settings on the NAS must be fine:
DNS (Domain Name Server - to resolve
http://www.shoutcast.com to a valid IP address) and Standardgateway (to be able to access shoutcast's network).
If you are using DHCP your router is passing these settings to its clients. In this case you must be sure, that DNS and Gateway are correctly set in your router. In many cases, the router's IP is also a good choice for DNS and Gateway, but this depends also on your router and DSL-provider.
BUT: I have already seen some devices which do not correctly take over the settings from the router. If shoutcast radio ist not working, you must check these settings directly from your NAS. In this case you need to login to the NAS (SSH,TELNET,whatever).
Check your network settings with
ifconfig or /sbin/ifconfig
Check your DNS with
nslookup
http://www.shoutcast.com
Check your Standard-(Default-)Gateway with
/sbin/route
Check accessibility to shoutcast with
ping
http://www.shoutcast.com
shoutcast does not really "answer" to ping, but you should see the resolved IP-number.
Hope, that helps.

although I didn't changed anything - just removed once again twonky 4.3 and tried 4.4 - internet radio is now working. I cross my fingers, because I have the bad bad feeling that with the next rebuild of the database the problem can reoccur. Like often, some problem disappear without reason - thanks for all of your help. Anyways, what if someone has no telnet to the NAS? Raidsonic doesn't support that. And: If I try to ping
http://www.shoutcast.com this will give a timeout
