first test to see if the server(s) is actually online:
[url]http://ventrilo.com/status.php[/url]
enter the server address and port#
if the server does not respond then you need to contact your server hosting provider and have them investigate
----------------
if the server responds then try the telnet test. telnet should always be able to connect:
start > run
cmd {hit enter}
telnet serverhostname port#
(where serverhostname={the server ipaddress or hostname of the server you’re trying to connect to (found in vent client server setup)} and port#={port associated with that server}
(example: “telnet 75.125.43.51 3784” or “telnet [url]www.myserver.com[/url] 3784” without the quotes)
If Telnet is able to connect then the screen will go blank. If not, then you will see an error message about not being able to connect.
Enabling Telnet in Vista/Windows 7 / 8 / 10
Control-Panel / Programs and Features / Turn Windows features on or off / select “Telnet Client” / click OK
If telnet can't connect then vent won't either as telnet is a function of the tcp/ip stack which is a part of the operating system. If it can't make a tcp connection then something is preventing the connection on that specific port#.
