Ventrilo Help

I have successfully made a ventrilo server with VentSrv and the Ventrilo client. I can connect to it if I put localhost as the server hostname but my friend cannot. I know my IP address and he put that in for the hostname but nothing happened on his end. How does he go about connecting to my server?
Answer #1
Are you using a Router?
Most people Are So the answer If you are.
Windows FireWall – Open The Vent port (Thats the x.x.x.x.x:”8435″) The End Numbers. So they are Not blocked By your firewall.
Go to your router Settings – Normall Just I.E Then direct to – 192.168.1.1 / 192.168.2.1
On There Go to Virtual Firewall / Ports – And Share your Computers IP – The 192.x.x.x.x. One, To the Interner, / Open the Ports… and try again.
Answer #2
Yes, as said, port forwarding is the best way to let other connections into your network. Or you can try hamachi, its not the best, but it also gets the job done.
