There is no 'port' to open.

This is fine. This is how my setup is.

6) You said if the "Vent Server" is configured it should resolve the issue. What can I tell my vent host to configure? They claim that the appropriate messages are enabled....

The only thing your ventrilo host is responsible for is the settings in the [Status] section of the ventrilo_srv.ini file, which is outlined above in my previous post (quoted directly from the server manual).

I think the part I am missing is in the ventrilo_status file... Should I run that? Is there a "how-to" on that? Will this file run without being local on the actual ventrilo server?

The ventrilo_status binary is called by the plugin. Attempting to execute the binary will do nothing without the appropriate command line. There's nothing you need to do with it aside from download it and set the correct permissions.

Just be sure you've downloaded the appropriate binary for your respective operating system (Linux, FreeBSD, Win32, etc.) and set the permissions to (CHMOD 755).
