Re: Running Ventrilo on N5200 - Anyone got it to work?

cd ventsrv and ./ventrilo_srv started the server with some output. I show details here:

When I inspected the running processes with ps, I found ventrilo active:
Code:
root@127.0.0.1:~# ps | grep ventr
30795 root        704 S   ./ventrilo_srv
There was no problem or error mentioned.
When I run nmap, I found:
Code:
[root@syo]~ # nmap 192.168.0.100

Starting Nmap 4.62 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2008-08-06 10:29 CEST
Interesting ports on 192.168.0.100:
Not shown: 1705 closed ports
PORT     STATE SERVICE
21/tcp   open  ftp
22/tcp   open  ssh
80/tcp   open  http
111/tcp  open  rpcbind
443/tcp  open  https
548/tcp  open  afp
631/tcp  open  ipp
850/tcp  open  unknown
2000/tcp open  callbook
2049/tcp open  nfs
MAC Address: 00:14:FD:11:30:AA (Thecus Technology)

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 568.886 seconds
So, there seems to be no further port open for the ventrilo.
I don't know enough about that stuff and my time is over now, but /etc/services at least shows not a lot of free open ports for the NAS. Somehow, you probably have to give the ventrilo server a chance to open one port and listen to incoming calls on it.
Bye.

This pretty much the results I've done. And since the port is not being shown available so no doubt the application will not be able to respond to any incoming connections for the outside world. (subjective to having your router mapped with assigned port as well) Wondering if using the "nc" command to force the port open would make it work. If that fixes the problem then it would serve as another potental add on module for use.

Any linux Guru's out there reading this? I will continue playing around with it as ventrillo serves a huge population of gamers out there - notably those playing MMOG.

Cheers,
