The servername isn't something you define in the plugin. It's read directly from the server. Once the server is configured properly, that problem will resolve itself.

Before you can issue status requests to a Ventrilo server
you must first configure the Ventrilo server to receive and
process UDP messages. This can be done in the servers INI
file under that [Status] section. All servers version 2.1.2
or higher come with examples showing all of the options.
However, the UDP support is disabled by default so that they
are compliant with older versions. You must read the
"ventrilo_srv.htm" file that comes with each of the servers
in order to understand what and how to configure the
[Status] section of the server. We will give examples here
but we will not be addressing the advanced options to
prevent server abuse. This is your responsibility and you
can only learn how to do it by reading the ventrilo_srv.htm
file and having a working knowledge about network interface
cards, IP addresses and network administration. If you do
not have these skills then you should let someone more
qualified configure the server for you.

In the ventrilo_srv.ini file and under the [Status] section
you should:

Uncomment the example Intf=0.0.0.0 by removing the # sign in
front of it. This will enable processing of all UDP messages
from all network cards in the system.

Comment out all of the FilterGen and FilterDetail lines.
This can be done by placing a # sign in front of them.

After changing the INI file you will need to restart the
Ventrilo server.
