Alright, seems like this is the best place to post this. Anyways, whenever I try to connect to the vent server it fails. I've done everything the vent FAQ recommends and I am out of ideas. So I was wondering if anyone here might have some insight to offer.

If you're getting the "cannot connect to server" message, that's usually due to either being offline (which you're probably not  ), or being behind a network router or firewall that is not configured to allow traffic to and from our Vent server's port. Are you using any firewall programs (such as ZoneAlarm)? What's your network setup like (what hardware)? |

Yeah, I allowed it on my firewall and configured my router, no luck though. I'm trying to find out whether or not it's just this server though.

You added both the server IP and the port to the "allowed" lists on both, right?
Try connecting without the firewall, and see if that makes a difference. And if you can get online without the router, try connecting without that. One of those two should help track down the source of the blockage.

And if you can get online without the router, try connecting without that. One of those two should help track down the source of the blockage. Actually, if it's a Linksys router, there is a setting called "DMZ" that will basically shut down the routers firewall. They don't recomend keeping it on that setting for obvious reasons, lol.  But you can use that setting to stay connected through the router and see if the routers firewall is what is keeping you off where you are trying to get to. Bro Jeff a.k.a.

Alright, thanks for the suggestions but sadly neither worked.  |

I've just checked the logs on the server side ... your IP address isn't listed, so you're not even getting through to the server -- so the problem has to be on your end somewhere. Can you list all of the hardware that you have in your network setup (router, firewall, hub, ethernet card, etc.), including what brand they are? That might help us to help you figure it out. |

Well, found out that it is not Vent. I can connect to other vent servers (took me awhile to find one to test this on). So any idea's on what it could be now?
P.S. Peace could you pm the IP address, port, and password so I can enter them myself. Just want to make sure the link isn't somehow messing up and entering the wrong stuff for me.

Well, we mask the password to maintain control over who can get into our server. And you would get a different error msg if the password is wrong. If there is an "Of God" server in your server list in vent that you click on to join, delete it and try the link at the forum again. Also, you can check the IP and port # against the IP and port # in the vent section of the forum to make sure the IP and Port are right in your vent server list. But try deleting the "Of God" server in you vent server list and clicking the link again. See if that works.
