Getting ventrilo server to work

Question

I have setup a static IP on my server computer- gone into the network adapter tcp/ip settings and did those 
Ip Address 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default gateway (my router)
both dns server addresses from the status page in the router and matches ipconfig /all information
I have forwarded ports on the router 3784 and 6100 in gaming and applications
ipconfig says dhcp enabled ...... No
like most other people, the computers on the network will connect but outside, no dice.

Answer 1

Make sure your firewall applications are correctly configured to allow connections on the desired port and protocols (TCP and/or UDP). For testing purposes, you should fully disable all firewalls, including the Windows firewall, and try again
Next, you need to ensure your router is properly configured for port forwarding. Port forwarding tells your router where to direct certain requests it receives based on the incoming port. For example, if you have three computers in the network, and have a web server running on port 80 on one of the machines, port forwarding directs incoming visitors to the desired computer.
If your firewalls are disabled, and port forwarding is properly configured in your router (or you don't have a router), the last possibility is that your Internet Service Provider is blocking the port. Many ISPs block common ports such as 21, 25, and 80 to prevent people from hosting servers on their networks. You can verify port blocking by simply calling your ISP and asking about the problem (since they often use it as an incentive to upgrade to a better package).
