MSG: contacting server

Nillawafer · 09-08-2010, 02:51 PM

i have read many threads about this issue but.. i guess i should put mine in i have an issue with connecting to a vent server. everything is put in right i have checked over them at least 20 times over.

frost.pure-voice.net
port=3784

i connect to that server with out any issue what so ever. when i use telnet i get this

Trying 76.74.158.66...
Connected to vent34.light-speed.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

[url]http://www.darkstarllc.com/services/ventrilo-servers/[/url]

when i use that website and i connect to the demo vent servers i can connect to all of the USA and canada servers.. but with the server from south africa and amsterdam i get the same thing.. just sits at MSG: contacting server.

i have all the ports i need open i am on a college network..

3866 UDP and TCP
TCP ports: 3784 & 9000
UDP ports: 5000 & 6100.

all those are open.

thats my story if you need anything else just ask.

Are you saying you cannot connect to

Trying 76.74.158.66...
Connected to vent34.light-speed.com.

?

What's the port number?

its a private channel with a password but the port is 5587.. and no vent wont connect to it but i can ping it just fine with telnet.. i think

My vent connects to it - can't go any further without a password though.

I tried it on another Mac as well and connected right up. I don't think this is a Vent issue - it may be a port being blocked or the firewall on your Mac being turned on and blocking; it appears to be something external to vent.

Is this a laptop that you could take to a public wireless access point, like at a McDonald's or Starbucks and try it there?

I am on a 13 inch mac book pro. and i can go and try it out at our local pizza joint.. maybe ill have better luck there.

My firewall is currently turned off.

Thank you
