This is the basic information for our current Ventrilo server. If you don't know how to install or configure Ventrilo, read the installation steps below.

NOTE: This server is owner by a close friend of ours and he has made it available for our guild to use. We expect you all to behave yourselves while using this server and follow any rules laid down by the Administrator. If you are acting inappropriately continuously, we will ban you from the server.

Server Information:

1. Hostname/IP Address: vent15.gameservers.com

2. Port Number: 4210

3. Password: none (there is no password)

These installation steps are for Windows based systems only.

1. Ensure you are logged into Windows as a user with administrative rights. If you are unsure whether or not you are an administrator on your computer, go into the Windows Start Menu, Settings, Control Panel, then User Accounts. You should be able to tell from here whether you are an administrator.

2. Download the client from the Ventrilo website. You may want to save the file to your desktop instead of running it.

3. Once you've downloaded the installer to your computer, you can run the installation. This should be a basic program installation.

4. Now that the program is installed, you can launch the program from Start > All Programs or from the icon on your desktop (if you selected this option during installation)

1. Connect your microphone and speakers/headphones or headset to the computer. Make sure the microphone is not muted on the device or in the Windows volume control.

2. Open Ventrilo (if you don't have it open already). It can be found on your desktop or under Start > All Programs.

3. Click on the "->" button that is next to the first pulldown window called "User Name". This will open a new window where you can create a logon name to be used when connecting to a server.

4. Click the "New" button. This will open a small window where you can enter your logon name. Preferably, this should be your World of Warcraft character name so that we can distinguish who you are when your talking.

5. Click the "OK" button. You can come back to this window and click on the help button later on if you want more detailed information about what the other options mean and how to use them.

6. Now that we are back to the main window click on the "->" button that is next to the pulldown window called "Server". This will open a new window where you can enter the details about the server you would like to connect to.

7. Click the "New" button. This will open a small window where you can enter a name that will describe the new server definition. The name can be anything you want it to be like: "Becomes Enraged". When entering a server name you don't need the quotes around it. These server names will show up in the main Ventrilo window. Click "OK".

8. Click on the "Hostname or IP" input box and enter the server hostname or IP address "vent15.gameservers.com" without the quotations.

9. Click on the "Port number" input box and enter "4210" without the quotations. The program will automatically display the default port number of 3784 but you can change this to the server port number.

10. Our current Ventrilo server does not have a password. Click "OK" to return to the Ventrilo main window.

11. Click "Connect" to establish a connection between you and the Ventrilo server.

12. You should also click on the Setup button and configure all of the different options that control Ventrilo. This is very important when it comes to controlling the microphone or input source. Once in the Setup dialog click on the "Help" button. Be sure to read what all of the options are and what they mean. This is very important for the Voice page.
