Alright, so I got my original ICS problem solved, but now I have another. See, one of themain reasons for setting up this second PC was to have my Icecast stream online 24/7. Yes, that's the stream that's advertised in my sig. The only problem is, I'm WAY unfamiliar with Linux and have really no clue how to set up an Icecast stream on it. (ie what programs to use, how to compile, etc.) I'm running openSUSE 10.3 x86, if it helps.

What it comes down to is that you should retrieve the latest Icecast source package and follow the typical pattern of commands to install software from source in a unixoid build environment, i.e.
1. ./configure
2. make
3. make install
in the folder you extracted your source package into (which, in turn, can be done with tar -xzvf packagename.tar.gz).
You might have to install the development versions of a number of libraries (libvorbis etc.); this is best done with your distribution's package manager. The Icecast site should list somewhere which of those you require; as I am unfamiliar with SuSE's setup and whatever package manager it uses, I can only recommend you to consult your distribution's manual for how to search and install packages.

The only problem with what you just told me is that the "make" command always comes up as unknown. That's why I can't really do anything.

gmake, gcc, g++ etc. are packages you need to install as well then. Sorry, I didn't assume you wouldn't already have those.
