Ok guys here is the last update after I sent the log around.

I fixed the problem.

The ports were indeed forwarded almost completely but not quite.

Before I forwarded them the other day I couldn't connect to the stream with my 
pacmate wirelessly but after forwarding the ports I could.

There was however a checkbox that I didn't check because it has no text 
associated with it so don't know what I am checking.

Well I just went back in and looked at the forwarding and it looked fine so I 
checked the box and applied the settings.

Now the shoutcast servers says it added me successfully.

Now I have to try and find myself on shoutcast which still may not be easy.

I certainly do not want to where out my welcome with both you guys but are you 
up for tackling audio stocker now?

I am not sure if even I am up to it since it seems to cause lockups when I 
install it but who knows.

Also are there any plugins that I can stack to perform some filtering as well 
as compression such as to filter out pl tones from the signals like 131.8 and 
192.8 and 203.5.
