hmm... I could try to get it to work thru the university. But I doubt it would work out.

All you need for the server is a machine with at least one open port to the outside world (so either no firewall/masquerading or one you can control).

As for the bandwidth, it can use quite a bit depending on the bitrate you're streaming at. At the normal 128kbps rate (around 16kb/s, plus some overhead) it doesn't take many listeners to swamp your average ADSL line.

Oh, and Icecast beats Shoutcast hands down

sorry if i overlooked this in reading this message, but did anyone think of trying shoutcast? i know it worked for me and my friends when we did some stuff like this.

and i know itunes has a way of doing it too, but i think that uses your computer's bandwith.

It's been suggested (Just look at the post above yours), thanks.
The problem is finding a server with enough bandwidth to allow people to actually listen.

gotcha. i was under the impression that shoutcast was the server however i think i am mistaken.
