I'm looking to set up a little shoutcast. I've done this before, and I know a lot about networking (I think). The router was switched to a LAN address of 10.1.1.1 (from 192.168.1.1), and since then, it seems like the DMZ no longer functions. I've enabled port forwarding (across ports 8000-8001) and turned of the DCHP function (which supposedly enables port forwarding) to no avail. I could get this to work perfectly when the LAN address of the router was 192.168.1.1. I'd just get the WAN IP of the router off the status page, paste that into the connect address of the Shoutcast DNA, fire up the server and boom...I was in buisness (of course, my machine was in the DMZ). Now, however, the SAME exact configuration (except that I have 10.x.x.x address) and it doesn't work!

Any suggestions?

Why are you trying to use a 10.X.X.X IP? The Linksys router is set to use 192.168.1.X for the internal network, 10.X.X.X ain't gonna work (and neither will anything else that is not in the 192.168.1.X range.
I've enabled port forwarding (across ports 8000-8001) and turned of the DCHP function (which supposedly enables port forwarding) to no avail.
DHCP has nothing to do with enabling or disabling port forwarding. What happens when you enable port forwarding, it forwards the port to a specified IP. If DHCP keeps changing the IP of the machine, it will not get the port forwarded to the right machine.

This is what I do, set DHCP to start at 192.168.1.10. With this setting you can choose static IPs from 192.168.1.1-9 and DHCP will assign IPs from 192.168.1.10-254. Now just set a static IP (192.168.1.1-9) for your shoutcast server and forward the ports you need.
