Broadcasting audio stream over LAN/internet

I'm using Nicecast to broadcast an audio stream over my dorm's LAN, but I can't get anyone else to connect. I obviously can't forward any ports on my own (since I'm not a network admin at the college), so how can I find out what ports are open and then tell Nicecast to use those ports instead?
Edit: alternately, I have webspace both through Apple and my university. Is there a way I can somehow have Nicecast stream to one of those, and then have a link on the webpage for people to click?
Edit 2: See 3rd post.

In case of the latter, you can't unless you have your own public IP or the ability to add port forwards into the NAT. An alternative would be to convince someone to give you some CPU and bandwidth to host a server on their machine, i.e. you stream your music to them and people to connect to that server.
-A program that can create an audio stream (Nicecast)
-Web space on either my Apple website or the website my school allows me to host
How do I create a link on either website that, once people click, will allow them to hear my stream?
If you just want to listen to your music from a remote location, you can use something such as Ampache, which is basically just a file manager for audio files (which is actually what most applications which claim to be audio streaming applications really are, just file managers). Ampache doesn't require any special access, as it's just a database and method of controlling file access.
