• Client - Installing •
Once you have downloaded the appropriate client you can start the installer.
If for any reason the installer program gives you an error like (I/O error) or (CRC error) then this means that the installer program was corrupted during the download process. This is usually caused by using old web browsers when downloading the file or your browser is accessing the web through a proxy server. Unfortunately it's hard to say exactly which is the real culprit. Before downloading the file again you should flush your browsers cache to assure that a fresh copy is pulled down from the Ventrilo web site, and consider accessing the web without using a proxy.
Once the installation program is finished it will have accomplished several things:
1) All files will be installed into the specified location.
2) A folder called "Ventrilo" will be created in your Start / Programs menu.
3) Registry entries for "ventrilo://" web links have been created.

• Client - Quick Setup •
1) Start the ventrilo program. Click on the Start button, click on Programs and then click on Ventrilo. This will display another menu option called Ventrilo that will start the actual program.
2) 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.
3) Click the "New" button. This will open a small window where you can enter your logon name. The name you enter is entirely up to you. It can be your real name or a nick name.
4) 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.
5) 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.
6) 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: "My server" or "Joe's server". When entering a server name you don't need the quotes around it. These server names will show up in the main Ventrilo window.
7) Click "OK".
8) Click on the "Hostname or IP" input box and enter the server hostname or IP address given to you by the person hosting the server.
9) Click on the "Port number" input box and enter the servers port number. The program will automatically display the default port number of 3784 but you can change this to what ever the server needs it to be.
10) Click on the "Password" input box and enter the servers password as defined by the server administrator.
11) Click "OK" to return to the Ventrilo main window.
12) Click "Connect" to establish a connection between you and the server you just defined.

**The server's hostname or IP address. [=SsC= IP: 72.18.157.18]**
**The server's port number. [=SsC= Port: 4268]**
**The server's case sensitive password (if a password is required). [=SsC= PW: No Password, leave blank]**
==============================================================================================
==============================================================================================
Once you connect, be sure you click on Set up and check off your "Push-to-talk" radio button (PTT). This will be your "hotkey" you will push and hold down to talk. When you let go of this "hotkey" you will become mute until you press it again.
Other members are usually on vent throughout the day. If you need help, push your comment radio button to the right and type in "I need set up help, please" and we will help you out!! Oh, you will be able to hear us right away but we will not be able to hear you until you have your Push-to-talk key set up. That is a default by Ventrilo.
