Having trouble setting up Vent

Hi fellas

I just bought a 20 slot account on Gamearena but I can't get it running.

I put in the host name. I'm guessing that's the IP addy?
Port number is already there. Do I need to change that?
Password is just the password I made so people can log in

What am I doing wrong?

I've set one up years ago with no hassles. I must be missing something.

Almost certainly your port will be different to the default port Ventrilo fills in when setting up a new connection. You should have that available to you on the server configuration page of GA.

yeh, it says "Hostname or IP" so that's probably a good guess =]

you should enter the port that your vent server uses. if there's one already in there, it's probably just a default

Not sure what the port number is though. Will that be displayed somewhere on the Game Arena page where the IP addy is? I'm assuming I connect to Game Arena and don't have to make up my own server.

Ah, ok. I found the port under the config setting. Changed that and still no luck.

So far I've put in the IP address, port and then password. It should just connect hey?

LOL

yeh that's what you've just bought off gamearena

I think the URL you want for your server info should be something like http://secure.gamearena.com.au/account/serverrental/manage.php - then click manage. I just a bought 10 slot server as a test and that's the URL I get. In that page you want the value from 'Physical Address' - it wil show an ip address and a port number on the end, separated with a colon which is standard notation for ip:port

take the ip part and put it into "Hostname or IP" in vent

take the port part and put it into "Port number" in vent

stick the password in as well if you've put a password on the server via the above URL

default channel you can leave blank for now
