Tried Everything Posted: Still unable to have external parties connect.

electricpainter · 01-26-2010, 03:43 AM

Ok, i've read every single sticky'd post on this and followed/tested everything i've read.

I'm using Windows XP PRO

I forwarded ports 3784 as UDP and TCP (I tried them in seperate lines, and also as both checked.), also 6100 UDP, opened all of those same ports in my firewall, somebody said to set my local ip as a DMZ host and i tried that. So far nothing has worked. (Note: I have a static ip. So i know it hasn't changed.)

I currently am able to connect to the server as with my local ip, on the local server.

When i put in my external ip and 3784 into the Vent Status page, still unable to connect.

Thanks for anybody's help.

for your internal testing, you will not be able to connect using the external address from your internal computer. can you connect using the internal address of the server?

The forum stickies are fairly complete and ask for specific information if you are having problems.

downloaded win server for XP, tried to edit the .INI file and it was blank, tried to open up other files that were downloaded and all gave me an access denied error. Any ideas?

i can connect to my server using my internal ip.

i am having the same problem, but I can connect with internal from one of my other computers, but externaly the test on the ventrilo site cannot connect, says server not responding and my friends cant connect to it.

since you can connect internally, then it points to an issue with your router and port forwarding. double check the IP and protocol settings. if your workstation is on dhcp with your router, it could get a different IP than the one you setup in the port forwarding. please read the stickies and follow the instructions for posting if you have a problem.

Often times people have two routers without knowing it. For example, they'll have a wireless router attached to their DSL modem. They configure portforwarding on their wireless router (since it has "router" in the name), never realizing that their DSL modem is also acting as a router and being the device that actually connects the network to the Internet, is the one that should be configured for port forwarding.

I have a cable modem, which does not act like a router seeing as it only has one ethernet on it and no wireless. I have set up a static IP for the server. My port forwarding is set correctly, I have check all the settings 5 times and even have reset and reapplied them a couple times.

i run my computer with a router as well and i havent been able to connect to vent ever since it was put in. when i disable it it allows connection perfectly. i understand there are ports i need to allow for vent to become responsive with a router. any idea what ports i would need to make it work?
