Ventrilo not connecting to any server

[mardill]

I've downloaded the official 3.0.7 version and it does not connect me to any server at all. I checked it is allowed in firewall.

I'm using win7 x64...

It's the first time i'm installing vent on this pc

What can be wrong here?

[mjgraf]

what is ventrilo displaying in the channel area?
does an error pop up?

we need to know these messages.

channel area - Server is available, please connect.. connecting ( i hope that was what you were asking for )
and afetr about 10 secs theres an error - unable to connect.
