windows Issue with Ventrilo

[FinZeroX]

Hi

So Ventrilo won't let me join your channel. it keep on nagging about this:

 

Connected to server but unable to authenticate your login name and password. Make sure you entered the correct global server password or the password for your unique login name. You will be automatically banned if you try connecting with the wrong password several more times, so be sure you have the correct password before you try again. Passwords are case sensitive and must be completely retyped if you are making a change to it. The password will always be displayed as 8 (*'s or dots) even if the actual length of the password is shorter or longer then 8. You should also verify that you entered the correct IP address (or hostname) and Port number. If the port number is wrong you are connecting to the wrong server.

 

So could you help me? I have no password set to your channel options.

Are you loging in as anonymous? Or are u trying to make a name and password before actually being authorized?

[FinZeroX]

None of those.

[TimoMajere]

None of those.

 

 

Um Its one or the other bro.. You're either registered or anonymous.

 

I havent been on vent in a while, but i do believe because there was a massive onslaught of foreigners jumping on ventrilo abducting channels and harassing the regulars and members alike , that they changed the way you can get in. Im not 100% sure, but I think u simply just do the normal process.. make a name add the server IP and port.. then click Connect. You should be able to talk only in a few channels but you should be able to get in the front door easily enough.

 

Perhaps

 

Make sure you entered the correct global server password or the password for your unique login name

 

So you haven't registered your Username.. or you havent registered on the server itself.

have you got the right ip/port?

 

sohuld be

 

8.3.5.149

 

for ip and for port its

 

4666

 

main vent channel dosent have pass

 

one thing you could try is new name and see if a different name will work

[Duckie]

Try changing your "User Name"... its possible you are accidently trying to login as a registered admin...

[FinZeroX]

Sorry, my mistake.

So, I'm logging in as anonymous(not registered).

I haven't any pass set neither to the user nor to the channel.

I have checked IP and port several times, they are correct and Vent does find the channel.

I have tried FinnishSaint and Test as my name, both are unable to join.

 

What is weird about this is that there's Vent on my laptop and I can enter FlA Vent with it. Both have the same settings and names.

Could it be due to my router?

[F257]

hmm..its unlikely to be a router issue. have you checked your firewall settings?

[FinZeroX]

hmm..its unlikely to be a router issue. have you checked your firewall settings?

Both are running Windows Firewall which should have ports forwarded correctly.

The only difference with security programs is that the PC(Vent not working) has Avast! Internet Security with masses of real-time protectors and... Oh! A firewall too!

Maybe I should check it soon.

Thanks!

Im at a loss.. all i did was grab the IP and port from the server made a profile put the address and port in.. and bam.. i was in.

I had to change some stuff once I was authorized.. but to get in required very little effort on my end.

 

I'm not sure whats going on there.. If it was an internet issue, it'd say so.. but your message back says stuff about your name and password only.. so I can ONLY assume therein lies your problem.

You cannot log in as "anonymous" or "unregistered" on Vent.. just create a name and fill in the IP/port boxes, and connect. I'm able to connect fine without a password. Try connecting to a different Vent server to see if you have the same problem.

[FinZeroX]

I've set a profile named FinnishSaint and I can access other servers.
