Ok here goes.

I do want to chat with someone on the phone eventually because once I get this 
straightened out I want to use audiostocker as well and that plugin has already 
caused me some fits but thats for later.

The errors are as follows.

Shoutcast yp_add gave the following error (nak)

Shoutcast  yp_add gave extended error can not see your station compute.

Weird.

Shoutcast server v1.95 and shoutcast source v1.80 winamp 5.93 ports 8000 and 
8001 are opened up on my linksys vonage router.

Win xp pro sp2 with no firewall active.
