Can't Connect to Ventrilo

If you are having trouble connecting to a Ventrilo server, the first things you should check are the Internet Protocol address and port number assigned to the server in the client program. If the IP address or port number is listed incorrectly, you will not be able to connect to the desired Ventrilo server. If the IP address and port number are correct, then the server may be off line, or there may be a conflict with your installed firewall programs.

• 1

  Double-click the "Ventrilo" shortcut on your desktop to launch the client program.

• 2

  Click the "Connection" drop-down menu located in the top left-hand corner of the client window, then click "Connect."

• 3

  Verify that the IP address and port number are correctly listed in the "Server Address" box on the right-hand side of the client window. If they are not, enter the correct information into the "Server Address" dialog box in the following format: serveraddress:portnumber.

  Press "Connect" to attempt to connect to the server. If the client program still fails to connect to the server, shut down your firewall programs and try again. If the client program continues to fail to connect to the server, the problem may be in the server itself.
