Ventrilo

[Leaf]

If me and my friend use the same ventrilo application, but we use different accounts, and one gets banned off a vent server, does the other one get banned too?

Hmm? I dont seem to understand the question? Do you mean using it on the same computer but with different names?

What do you mean accounts? Like names?

The ban is so by IP, so if you use the same computer/ household, yes you will both be banned

im pretty sure even if your on different pcs but on the same network via router u would both get banned as well.

incorrect, every pc has its own ip, so it would only be the ip of the offending pc that would be banned not a network wide ban as that may also ban innocent people

I can attest to this. Back when we had a single server for DoDs, my brother, who is on my network, decided to come into a server and fool around. I IP banned him and he also banned me at the same time.

The people in the server laughed at that and my brother couldn't stop laughing....


So yes, you will both get banned if its on a different PC but same network

If you both share the same IP, almost everyone does on home networks, the IP is banned, therefore all computers on that IP will not be able to log into vent.

Ok then thank you.

Yes, you'll be banned overall based on your IP address.

If you find yourself banned and having problems with Vent overall (while I'm exceedingly biased) I might suggest giving imVOX a chance. It's an alternative to Vent that gives everyone a free 30-slot server. The mac version won't be out for a few days, but if you're just playing a bit with friends on Windows games, its really awesome. The details are in my sig.

But either way, don't get yourself banned from servers and rooms on our service either Play nice with others!
