Did you enter all the information as demonstrated by the Beemaster?
The ip and port numbers?
If you have a slow connection,Text in the ventrilo may be best but some people can chat over dialup without much trouble?

I've used Ventrilo many times over dial-up a few times (fortunately my grandparents finally got high speed so I hope to never have to again).
All I can say is it works, there is a huge delay between when you talk and they hear you and when there are more then a few people in the room it gets choppy, but besides that it should work fine.
Make sure your firewall is not blocking outbound connections on those ports (you are on dial-up so I will assume you do not have a router).

Don't know if I can help, but I use dial-up and it works fine. Try turning off you firewall and see if that works. You might also want to try closing any application (ie. browser) that is using bandwidth.

That is totally dependent on which firewall you are using. If you are using the built-in Windows firewall go to the security section of the control panel. Since I don't have time to explain how to turn off every firewall, could you tell me what firewall you are using?
Remember that AS SOON AS YOU ARE DONE WITH VENTRILO turn the firewall back on!

I would never suggest turning off the firewall, especially if you've got a broadband connection. The bots are out there ready to take advantage of any open machine! There's a way within each firewall to allow programs to connect. It's important to know what your firewall is and how to access the controls. None of us can help you without that info.

Wow, one post per line...
Virtually all firewall programs will turn off the firewall. We need to know what firewall you are using to be able to help you. Remember to double, triple, quadruple check that you have the current ip address and port.

If your sure that you have the ip and port numbers correct then i guess a reinstall could not hurt. I have used dialup and have never had the problem you have. good luck we don't want you to miss out on ventrillo.

You installed the version the link pointed too?
Version 3.0.1 is the version you want.
