Stuck on "Contacting Server" - Page 2

Prog-Rocker · 07-02-2011, 08:55 AM

at the command prompt type in the following:

route add x.x.x.x mask 255.255.255.255 178.101.121.45 metric 1

where x.x.x.x is the ipaddress of your vent server
if you don't have the ipaddress you can find it via the hostname at this site:
http://network-tools.com/

select lookup then enter the hostname in the box.

After entering that into command prompt...

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\user>route add 72.37.221.158 mask 255.255.255.255 178.101.121.45 metric 1
The route addition failed: Either the interface index is wrong or the gateway does not lie on the same network as the interface. Check the IP Address Table for
the machine.

from the command prompt again type and post the output:

ipconfig /all

run this test program to check connectivity and post the results:

Download and install the portquery tool from MicroSoft

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo.../portqryui.exe

Navigate to the install folder and run the PortqryUI.exe program

In the 'destination IP' box, enter the Hostname or ipaddress of the Ventrilo server

Under "Query Type" select 'Manually input query ports:'
In the 'Ports to query' box enter the port number for the Ventrilo server
In the 'Protocol' box select BOTH

Click the 'Query' button

The display will report one of the following results:

UDP port #### (unknown service): LISTENING or FILTERED
UDP port #### (unknown service): NOT LISTENING

Query Result:

I reattempted vent and it connected! so I'm assuming this has fixed the problem!

Thank you ever so much for your time and effort, its been appreciated!

well, glad to here it's working but i'm in wonder that you're able to connect. the portquery is only to test the connection but in your case it must have triggered something to allow the UDP packets thru.

@ inie1

what does the vent window display before hitting connect? MSG: ????

what results do you get from the tracert and telnet tests described here:
