Hi Feiko,

You say "I see only win32 IceCast 2.x" but you don't say where.

I'm not clear on what you are saying so lets try this.

From the start button select run and enter services.msc then click ok.
When services opens, scroll down the list till you get to applications starting with 'I', now look for Icecast ....
If there is anything there report back that info. If there is more than one entry report that back too.

Now open your browser and enter http://localhost:8000/admin/
You should be prompted for a user name (probably admin) and password (if you don't remember setting it, try hackme).
If you get a 'Unable to connect' or 404 page then no Icecast instance is running on that port, report back with this info.
If an Icecast2 Admin page come up then look down the page until you see: server_id and report back the version number to the right of this item.

We will continue once you report back.

TQ

hostname fields in the xml configuration page should be the name of your machine on the local network or the ip if the machine is remote

I also toured with Icecast 2.3.2

Hi Feiko

If you stop the service and wait for the buffer to empty (allow 30 seconds) are you saying the player still plays?

Also, if you disable the service, does it still stream after a reboot?

TQ
FYI

We also recommend to upgrade to version 2.4.1 due to the contained security fixes. There are 2.4.1 packages available in many distributions, and for those distributions carrying older versions there are official 2.4.1 packages available linked from http://icecast.org/download/
