Hi group,

Shoutcast doesn't connect. nmap reveals all my ports are closed. How
to open port 8000?
netstat -a doesn't mention it.

You mean you have a shoutcast server running on your machine? Are you behind a NAT?

To see if you're behind a NAT, type:

  /sbin/ifconfig

and note the "inet addr" of your ethernet device (usually "eth0"). Then, go here:

  http://www.myipaddress.com/show-my-ip-address

and check if the IP address reported there is the same as the "inet addr" reported by ifconfig. If they are not the same, you are behind a NAT. That means you will have to "forward" port 8000 in the device your PC is connected to (a DSL modem/router/gateway, for example).
