Note: if the music stops on Computer 1, it will probably stop on Computer 2. Whey you start the music on Computer 1 again, it may not start playing on Computer 2 until you push the play button again (or something similar).

			=== Testing the Broadcast on Second Life ===

			Chances are your broadcast server is your personal computer at home, and it's behind a router/gateway.

			The way things are set up now only computers on your personal Local Area Network can find your music broadcast, so you will have to configure your router/gateway.

			Most routers have a web user interface that you can access by typing in the address of the router to your web browser. For example, from the ipconfig command discusses previously you might enter

			192.168.0.1

			First you will need to find the IP Address of the router that is know on the Internet. This will be published somewhere in the UI. For example, let's say it's "1.2.3.4"

			Next you will need to set up a mapping to your Icecast service on Computer 1. This usually looks something like:

			Application Name: icecast
			IP Address: 192.168.0.101
			Public Port: 8000
			Private Port: 8000
			Protocol: both (TCP/UDP)

			where IP Address is the address of Computer 1. There may be other information. After you've saved the changes you may need to restart your router (but not usually).

			Go back to Computer 2 and start Second Life. In your land, configure the following URL for you land's audio feed

			<nowiki>http://1.2.3.4:8000/different.ogg</nowiki>

			but don't use "1.2.3.4" - use the external address you got from your router. You should now be able to hear the music from your broadcast server on Computer 1 playing via Second Life. Anyone else on your land should also be able to hear the same music.
