467310 2006-06-29 12:34:00 I'm setting up Ventrillo (first time user) and am unable to connect to my friends' server.

I'm on a PC running Windows XP (2nd ed. SP)
Ventrillo 2.3.2 beta 3

address: 144.140.155.105
port 3985

I've triple checked the address and port numbers. No problems there, and friends in Australia confirm it's working.

The server is in Australia and I live in Taiwan. Could that be my problem?

When I run tracert, I get timed out at the 18th node(!) with a delay of more than 5 seconds :badpc:

The last node I connect to before timing out is at telstra.net: 139.130.1.246

And that his firewall/router is accepting port 3985

The problem I posted about is from my home PC .

I just tested the same IP + port with Vent on my office PC . Connected to server, no problem .

But when I ran tracert from my office PC, I get the same timeout at the same node as my home PC . :waughh:

Why wouldd I get a timout on both PCs at this node, yet Vent connects successfully from one but not the other?
