Hello all,

I have gotten my server to work just fine if I start it manually. If I run it as a service it runs, but I can't log into it. If I stop and then restart it, it works just fine (as a service.) I am not running it on a wireless card. I have found others having this same problem, but no working solution. It seems as though the computer doesn't know it's IP address yet, when Ventrilo is starting as a service. I have the router assign the same address to the server computer on each start up. Once again, I have the server working fine, when I start it manually as a service or as an application. Is there a way to start the service later or can I config Ventrilo somehow to work? I have started the service in a BAT file with a delay and as a scheduled task with no success as well.

I have been having this same issue as well. On the previous support forum, I asked about this as well and it was never resolved.

The only way you can make this work is to set a Scheduled Task to run at a specific time. The unfortunate problem is if you have to reboot your server or if the power goes out, the Ventrilo Scheduled task does not run unless you desginate it to run every hour or stop the task after so many minutes, etc.

I have tried to run the Ventrilo service thru a scheduled task by using the "net Start Ventrilo" command but it only works if the schedule is at a certain time. It does not work when you set the task to run at "Logon"

This is a very annoying problem and I hope that someone can address this promptly. Thank you.

It's being looked into. Lack of reply doesn't mean it's ignored.

New Ventrilo version is working just fine now at system startup as a service. Thank you much for fixing this!

im having this problem with the current version 2.3.1.

restarting the service fixes the problem, i can only think short term setting the service to manual and then putting a net start batch file in windows startup.

any thoughts?

is your server getting an ip assigned via DHCP? if yes then the problem is the vent service is starting before an ipaddress is assigned. If you set the pc with a static ipaddress then it should start the vent service at boot.
