STEP 1:
Download
|
|
Ventrilo is composed of two different
components:
-
The
client application: This is
the primary user interface which must be downloaded and used
by gamers.
-
The server application: The system
run by the Game's provider, all clients must connect to
it in order to
communicate with other people.
Ventrilo
is supported somehow differently in different platforms. So, it is
recommended that you should download the
appropriate platform version. This tutorial
covers the version for Windows.
Both the Client and Server applications of
Ventrilo can be
downloaded from here.
Note: Distribution or redistribution of
any of these packages requires authorization.

We run the Ventrilo server and Client
on the same machine for testing. You can also do
