Software IP Problems

by dspurg7310 . Updated 18 years ago

If anyone is familiar with Windows Media Encoder 9 and HTTP streaming, this question is for you.

The program is suppose to use your IP address and a selected port to stream from so others can access this stream, so it’s kind of like an internet radio station. So my original IP situation should look like this: http://72.174.26.159:8080, but recently the program started broadcasting through my “loopback” IP which is: 127.0.0.1 so now it looks like this: http://127.0.0.1:8080, the loopback loops my stream right back to my computer only, now no one else can hear my stream. The program won’t let me manually change my IP address because it gets the IP information from the computer, so my question:

How and where do I go to change the settings in my computer so that the program no longer uses the loopback IP but rather, my real IP so others can listen again?
