New user to shoutcast

Hey, im wondering if someone can help me out...

I host my own shoutcast server, using my own servers in the home, which i also use for hosting game servers, databases etc...
The shoutcast server runs on a seperate server on its own

My freind asked me to put the ip into his radio which is windows media player when it loads. The stream is fine and connections is fine, as when i load it using VLC media player it plays through fine.
The problem occurs when put the IP of the shoutcast into where the old radio used to be but when i do this save it etc and run it, it says connecting then goes to "Ready" in less than 3 seconds.

This is the code i have for the radio

PHP Code:

---

<div style="background-color: black; height: 20px; padding-top: 1px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 5px;"><u>Radio Player:</u></div><br>
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" name="LiveRadio" ShowStatusBar="true" EnableContextMenu="false" autostart="false" width="180" height="60" loop="true" src="http://90.***.**.*:8000/"/><br><br>

I have done multiple things to get it to run but it will not, is it the codec? do i need to change something? It would be much appreciated if it could be explained simply, all i do is host not actually do these kind of things.

Kind Regards
