Hi all

Go Into All Programs / Applications
There Will Be A New File In The Menu

VentServ

And There Will Be A Config File In Their...

The Config File Is Very Self Foward...

You Need To Edit The Config File A Little Bit:

Nice WoW Guide

[DarkFever]

Thanks this is useful for alot of people!

[Frank_Carter]

nice guide. But you do know if you host a ventrilo server your self you can only hold 8 connections on that server

[craigy109]

i used this last on our server on the 13/7/08 and i use to hold 50 people free so i dunno

[Gooze]

i suggest using teamspeak instead, cause it gives you access to 100 slots per server. Ventrilo only allows 8 slots.
