1. the old topic got several pages long, and then really old, so it lost the effect it was supposed to have on the SRF members, being that it was ment to get people to log into ventrilo.
2. I wanted to make sort of a "guide" to help newbs figure out how to log into vent, from start to finish
first, go to http://www.ventrilo.com, once there you will see:
click on the option circled in RED
scroll down a LITTLE and you will see:
again, click on the one circled in RED
it will give you an option to Run Save or Cancel, hit RUN, it will then start to download, you will then get some kind of security warning, ignore it, and press Run.
it will then install, use common sence and choose the corect download options, then run the program (it will put an icon on your desktop)
your now ready to log in, when you open vent you will see this:
you will notice the 3 boxes I circled in red, click on the first one, you will see this:
like I circled in RED press New, and create your name, example: Toku, hit OK, then press cancel, you will then be at the main ventrilo window, press the box circled in red UNDER the one you just clicked, you will see:
there are 4 things I circled, first, the one in RED (New) press it, and name it anything you want, example: SRF, the one below that, Hostname or IP, there you will type: twist4.nrgservers.net
under that, circled in PINK, is the Port Number, there type: 3533
under that, circled in GREEN, is Password, ignore that for the SRF vent server, but other people might require you to have a password, thats where you type it, when your through with all that, press OK, and you will be back at the main ventrilo window, press Connect, on the right hand side, and you will be in our happy ventrilo community
hope this helped. [/b]
