what message does the vent window display before hitting connect?

MSG: ????

does the server browser see it? rt-clik in window/view/server browser

[FONT=Verdana]cmd {hit enter}
telnet serverhostname port#

first try re-installing or updating the router firmware.

you can also try doing a 'factory reset' on the router which will erase any settings that were manually entered. note: be sure to record any settings that need to be -re-entered.

I am having a similar problem, got a new pc, vent will not connect on the new comp it just sits there after clicking connect. I ran telnet and screen went blank.

I can still connect to vent on my old laptop with no problem but I cant on this pc, I have an acer aspire 5560-7653
