No, i didn't figure this out; I have a splitter cable i've been using w/ an mp3 player, but i have to plug in and unplug the mp3 player in order to return functionality to the mic. ie. splitter jack A has mp3 player, jack b has mic. I leave mic plugged into b; and when i need to pause for bathroom or whatever, i plug the mp3player in and let it go, when i come back, unplug the mp3 player and click mic back on. This is as you can imagine very cumbersome, and jagged; I can't really ease music in over my voice, and ease it back out when i come back on. I'm reinstalling broadwave today, and am going to be getting back into the swing of it so if you have a software solution i can utilize it would be GREAT!. thanks in advance.

Did you ever get this figured out?. Just looking through the forums and came across this. I have done a few shows where I use my mic, then play a song or two, just like the big boys do on radio.

 

Let me know. Maybe I can help even though it's late after your post.

 

Cheers...

 

btw...yes is the answer to your question!

I have broadwave set up at a friends house who has a high speed cable account and it works great and I am wanting to set it up at my house where I am using the citywide wifi and the city admin has assigned us internal ip's.and I cant figure out how to get past this. is it possible?

best bet is to contact your network admin,

do a google search for your isp contact info

A laptop in my network can connect to the radio, but none outside my wetwork can. I know it can be something simple

and you guys might be sick of reading this kind of things, but i searched the forum and can't figure out still.

Maybe it got to do with the router or Ips or something, but im completely lost. I am trying to see if the free version works for me so i can purchase the software, butc cannot go further. Would be a shame not to keep with BW, when i already love it. Anyway, let me look further while some good soul decide to come help. Good week end!

run through step by step with us what you've done, I mean every step, if you changed your desktop picture, list it(may not be relevant, but every little detail helps see where you might have gone wrong.

no problem, We need to know a few key specific things.

1. your os

2. your router type

3. is your computer like mine and have an unchangable http server port?(mines 80)

But when I use my home computer (the computer that I need to stream from) internet explorer can't display the page

4.by "stream from" do you mean listen or broadcast from?(like is it the computer you have broadwave installed and running on or are you having trouble streaming from another computer on your own network?

if you've gone through all the hassle of port forward.com (i know it's a bitch trying to get through that step)

and you've set your computer ip to a static ip

(tcp/ip - 2000) (ip4/tcp - vista) in network properties ip settings.

click 'set ip to the follow' and use the static ip you want to use (192.168.1.200 for example the key is to use the first three number sets of your default router ip, usually 192.168.1.1 or 10.1.0.1 etc) for the ip,

and 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask,

and your default router ip for the default gateway and the DNS server. click ok

Now click the "sharing" tab in the X network connections properties box

make sure "allow other network users to connect through this computers internet connection" IS checked, and

the "Allow other network users to control ... " is NOT checked

now click the settings button on this tab

highlight(and check the "broadwave web server" and click edit

in the 'name or ip' settings put the ip of your static computer (192.168.1.xxx(i use 200 u can use pretty much what ever u want)

leave the default port for now.(i'm still figuring some of this out, this is a 'make it work' but not perfect setup

now click and edit the 'web server:http' option in this 'settings' tab (same that u selected the broadwave webserver from

make this ip also 192.168.1.xxx(200,etc)

this port should be automaticically chosen(mine is, set at 80, i can't change it.)

click ok, and ok again then close. now open a web browser

enter your router settings for portforwarding (you gotta look into portforward.com for this part, at least accessing your port forwarding options, it's under "gaming/applications" in linksys routers.

there will be a form with "Applications" "start port" "end port" "protocol" "ip" "enable"

they are as follows

app.: "broadwave"

start: "80" (default http webserver port we discovered earlier)

end: "80" same as above

protocol: TCP

ip: 192.168.1.xxx (200 etc)

enabled: check the box.

now click save

Now go to "Ipaddy.com"

and find out your public ip

open broad wave and open the options

click use spefified public ip

and use 192.168.1.xxx (200 etc)

and use port 80 (this is the default http web server)

click ok and then connect.

this should work, it's been working for me. so let us know how it pans out.

again this is not a sound or stable methodology necessarily, it is however a trial and error successful settings so let me know.

thanks, i hope so! i'll post my show adress and schedule when i get every thing set up.

is there a way to stream live with my microphone, but mix in audio on my computer? say if i have a commercial break and i want to play tunes back into my live feed, is there a way to switch between the microphone and an mp3 on my hard drive?

alright it's really not to difficult, unless you, like me had no knowledge of basic networking when you get started... so lets get started.

the first thing you have to do is (once downloaded and installed of course) set up your router.

First, go to control panel, network connections, properties,sharing,services, check the box for "Web server (HTTP)" and "EDIT" this service Take note of the port that is preselected for you(mine is 80 <shruggs>) the "Name or Ip address" of the computer your using is the next thing we'll do. I use 192.169.1.200 (because it's outside the normal dhcp range(thnx Kena). But the ip you choose, as long as it is 192.168.1.xxx should be fine, I just prefer .200; now that the webserver is set up click "ok" out of the 'services' window back to the "sharing" tab. click the "Networking" tab (next to "sharing" tab) and open the properties for your TCIP/IPV4. Click "use the following ip address" and as follows

ip address : 192.168.1.200

subnet mask : 255:255:255:0

Gateway : 192.168.1.1

DNS: 192.168.1.1

You can click "ok" back to your control panel/network connections window. open a web browser and type 192.168.1.1 it will ask for a password, if you havn't set one up yourself already, use "admin" for the username, and "admin" for the password, these are default settings for the linksys router.

Now we'll forward our ports.

You'll click "Applications and Gaming" there will be a form with, in order, "applications" "start port" "end port" "Protocol" "Ip Address" and "enable".

Applications : "Broad Wave" (a suggestion, you could name it "retarded blind kid" if you want to, but that may be confusing in the future.

start port: 80 (or what ever port you took note of earlier when you turned on your web server)

end port: 80 (see start port)

Protocol: TCP

ip address: 192.168.1.200

Enabled : check the check box for yes!

now save your settings.

now it's time to run broadwave, do so, and open the options

under the general tab you will see

Connection:

O This computer connects with a static ip

O Use this specified known domain or public ip

I click 'use this specified known domain or public ip and use 192.168.1.200 and make sure you specify the noted port from earlier(80) for me. I'm still not positive if this is needed or not, so hopefully the forum will clear this up for us confused folk.

now set up your live feed through line in or microphone, or set up a play list of tunes to broadcast, and click connect.

to test it I copy the 192.168.1.200:80/broadwave.... url from the autoloaded page from broadwave in an email, I change 192.168.1.200 to the my public ip (found at ipaddy.com) and under the link, i paste the redirect "audio stream supported by broadwave) link as requested by NHC into the email, and send it to myself, I then test it from both internally(first) and externally from my network.

this should pretty much cut it, let me know if i missed anything.

okay, so the problem was in my network connections -> properties -> Sharing => settings -services -> web server (http) needs to be checked.. for some reason it won't let me edit the port to use for the server, but i just set broadwave and my port forwarding to the default port designated by windows and it works i'm gonna write up a step by step for the linksys wireless router.look for that in a few hours.

even internally when i try 192.168.1.200:88/broadwave.mp3 it says a valid page exists but a connectoin can not be made. As far as externally i've never had any luck. I don't know how i got the internal to work the first time.. my router went crazy so i had to reset it, i was hoping it would make things work easier. Any ideas as far as router firewall settings? should i uncheck filter multi-cast?

Alright, I got port forwarding working to the point where i have set my static ip and still connect to the net(i was having trouble w/ the DNS i didn't know i was to use 192.168.1.1 but that works) but pfportchecker still says no go. It's routed to port 88, at ip 192.168.1.200 as i've set my static ip in network properties too. When i try to connect on my network (and at the endofinternet.net address) it says the site seems valid but a connection can not be made. I feel like headway is being made, thanks for the help, any more ideas?

does dhcp have to be enabled? and also how does integrating with dyndns.com and my linksys router change port forwarding and broadwave settings?

I'd like to utilize the free 'domain' (endofinternet.net )

I've forwarded my ports, sometimes port checker returns ports are open, sometimes not, I'm gratefull for your help plz bare with the newbie haha, i take it back, no open or connectable port...

i've forwarded port 88 to 192.168.1.103 with dhcp enabled as port checker suggests, and no go

i turn off dhcp and try it again w/ 103(pc suggestion) no lucdk

wtf?

why is port forwarding such a pain in the ass?

Great, your broadwave pc is going fine.

 

 

 

When your PC connectes to the router, it will either ask the router for an IP address (if it's DHCP enabled) or use an address defined in the PC. You can see which by running the command "ipconfig /all".

 

If it's DHCP enabled, the router's DHCP server will tell the PC which IP address to use, e.g. 192.168.1.103 as in the example above.

If it's not DHCP enabled, then the address has been set in the TCP/IP properties for the specific connection.

 

In the case of DHCP, the router will, by default, assign the next free address, as is happening here.

 

But you can program the router to always give the same PC the same address. In some routers, the function is "static local IP", in others it's "Fixed IP". If you set the broadwave pc to always receive the same address, then that's great. Next, configure the router to port-forward incoming traffic on the broadwave port to that fixed IP address.

 

Note that if your PC has two connections, e.g. a ethernet wired port and a wireless connection, you will get different IP addresses for each, so you'll need to be sure to specify the right one.

 

OK, so once you've got the router forwarding the port to the correct fixed IP, your friends should be able to listen.

 

You need to tell your friends the full URL, using your Public IP address and the Public port number. If you don't know your public IP address, go to the website www.ipaddy.com and it will tell you. Beware that this might change if you power off/on your router, unless your ISP has assigned a your account a static IP address.

 

Two additional notes:

 

1. Not every audio client recognises the .ASX in the URL. In this case, just use .MP3 and Broadwave seems to work just the same.

 

2. You can use a different port number for external listeners: you need to tell your router to also do port translation - e.g. externally-received traffic on port 8001 can be routed to an internal location on port 88. This is a good way of routing two different sets of incoming connections to two different broadwave PCs.

 

Let us know how you get on.

Port 88 is default. You can see for yourself in Options you can change it there too if you like.

 

also try using www.dyndns.com/ (linksys routers have a option that automatically updates this site with your current public IP address) and you can have a stationary web address. its free.

I've set up my dyndns account and domain, how do i integrate this with broadwave? I set it up, using my dyndns host as the host name for the connection and now people online get a "network" timed out error instead of a page doesn't exist error, so head way is being made, but i'm still curious as to the integration process.

Yes, this is perfectly good software!

 

The Connect button shows a web page of example urls, it lists the ip address of the broadwave pc on your local network.

 

You actually need to connect from a second pc on your local network (ideally) to verify that the port is open on your firewall on the broadwave PC.

 

Have a look at some of these posts.

I've gotten a connection locally from a different computer on my router. The problem is, when i send my link to freinds online they get page cannot be displayed or no connection errors.

when i forward my port to ip 192.168.1.103( which pfportcheck arbitrarily chooses and changes(when i installed it, and did it yesterday, it told me to forward to ip. .101, today, .103 what determines this, there is no option menu?

anyway, yesterday my ports were open and good, and today they are no good, wtf? how do i get this working with a lynksis wireless router? Port forward.com is useless...because i've done what it says to do for my router (dispite no bloody broadwave application guide) and i'm having no luck and getting very frustrated.

so is the public ip on ipaddy what i'd use to broadcast? even if it gives me greif about being on a 'private network' ?cause i tried and it still didn't work.

Okay, so I found what I'm looking for. Free, easy to set up and use, live internet broadcast. Hurray..

or so I thought. This is very frustrating. The help file refers me to portforward.com...wtf? they don't even have a broadwave application page.. I need a simple, step by step guide to setting this thing up and have not found one that does the trick. a few questions.

Welcome and thank you for installing BroadWave.

 

Since this is your first time running the software please do the following:

 

1. Connect the audio you want to stream to the line input of your computer (assuming you want live streaming).

Click on one of the links below to test if it works. If it does not appear to work or is too soft or loud, open the Windows Record Mixer to adjust the volume.

2. Add any recordings using Settings -> Recordings if you want to stream fixed pre-recorded audio.

3. To make the connection available from the public internet use Settings -> General -> Connection.

Click on the "Help about routing" link if you don't know how to setup your router or firewall.

 

That is it! Your server should be up and running in just minutes. If you have any problems see the help manual and support (from the Help menu).

in minutes? nope. this thing pops up everytime i hit connect. It is not the first time running the software. But I try and try again to do as instructed, I connect my microphone. It works.

I click connections, and designate that I connect directly to the ineternet via a static ip. and voila. Now when i access it with in my own network it works, but I also get this message at the bottom of the same screen of the last quote (localhost:85)

Warning Because your computer is on a private network

you must setup your router and enter the known host details

for the links to work properly from a public IP.

now i've forwarded my port 88 with ip 192.168.1.101 just like everything says to do. It gives me links

This is just an information setup page for BroadWave to provide the links. Ask your website developer to include these links in your website.

 

Broadwave Live 1

Broadband Stream http://192.168.1.101:88/broadwave.asx?src=1&kbps=56

Dialup Stream http://192.168.1.101:88/broadwave.asx?src=1&kbps=24

but i'm confused, because i though 192.168.1.1xx were addresses on my own private network, not very useful to others online..

so i went to Ipaddy.com and got my public ip

tried that

no luck, no one on the internet seems to be able to connect.

Help me please before i lose faith in what seems to be perfectly good software.
