Ventrilo Server

Ventrilo Server?
Can I host a Ventrilo or Teamspeak server for free? Or do I have to pay a fee. Thanks.

you can host it on your own pc i think, but good luck with lag it will most likely cause and have while gaming.

How can I make my computer a Ventrilo server?
I would like to know how to set my computer up to serve as a Ventrilo Server, and then how to know the Port #. I'm assuming the Server IP would be my IP. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I thank you in advance.

First download and install the server application http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php *You will also need to make sure the other party has the 'client' application* Note: The Ventrilo Server does not have a GUI interface. Here is their install guide and configuration guide. http://www.ventrilo.com/setup.php#Server_Installing The IP of the server if simply running on your LAN (Behind a router) will be the computers IP address as described in the network configuration on your computer. Users on your LAN with the client program will need to enter your IP address in the client application in order to connect to your computer. If you are trying to connect to the outside world from behind a router you will have to configure either port forwarding or the DMZ. Refer to your routers manufacturers site for instructions on configuration. Your port should be specified in your .ini configuration file for the server program. Again forward this port to your computers LAN address. You can (at some degree of risk) also configure your router to make you the DMZ (your LAN IP will become the DeMilitarized Zone). Setting yourself as the DMZ is the equivalent of not having a router to protect you. I hope this helps.

How can I host a Ventrilo server using a Linksys wireless adapter?
I have 2 computers in the whole house. A new Laptop is connected to the Linksys Router which is connected to the main router and my computer with a Linksys Wireless adapter. (theres also a range extender for a better signal.) I want to host a free Ventrilo Server for my friends but I can't do it with my computer since it uses a wireless internet connection. How can I Host a Ventrilo server (as well as hosting games) with a wireless internet connection?

You need to get a service that turns your DHCP IP address into a Dynamic DNS name using a service like dns2go so your friends can always find you. Then you need to port forward the appropriate ports through the wireless router.

is there any way to use my ventrilo server open without havin' that comand prompt thing open?
Yeah, when ever I use my ventrilo server i need to have a 'ventrilo server' comand prompt open, I want people to be able to get in without it bein' open.. >_< Is this possible or must i always have this stupid comand prompt thing open? Thanks.

There is no way to hide the command window in the ventrilo server. What you need to do is run the server as a service. The instructions on how to do this are in the help file installed with the ventrilo server program on your system. Look in the folder where you installed the ventrilo server for a file with this name. "ventrilo_srv.htm"

How do I get people to connect to my Ventrilo server?
I made a free 8 people limit server and I can connect to it fine and everything is set up, I made a few channels and I have full admin powers but when I give the IP and port to my friends all the get is "Contacting server" forever and they cannot connect. I tried giving them the WAN IP and the LAN IP and nothing is working. How do I get them to connect?

If you have a firewall or using a router, make sure you open the port that you're hosting Ventrilo out of. Also, make sure that you are giving out your actual IP address. Anything that is 192.168.1.x etc. is going to be the IP your router assigns. You need the IP that your router is using and it must forward the one port to your specific computer IP.

How to make your own client server in Ventrilo?
I need a client server for my game. But the ventrilo is so confusing. Do any one know how to? And do anyone know where a server place where i don't have to pay for it? Where I can use for a year free or something.

You have to purchase a host service from a number of different companies. I personally used Darkstar LLC. They have good prices on servers. After that its pretty cut and dry as to setting it up. The have guides available to fully customize your server.**** Not sure about free, all of them that I know of you have to pay for at a minimal fee.

Whats a good free ventrilo server with passworded private rooms?
Preferably based in new york, but not necissary.

Not entirely sure if this was the question you were asking, but the vent type client I use can be found below. I think you set up your account with the people at the website, and I haven't had to pay for it's use.
