    this is the first time ive used it. Under ventrilo's faq, it says some kind of firewall/router may block my connection.

    Windows firewall is off.

    my laptop is running off of a router. hmmm...?

    Hmmm, shouldn't be any problems. Perhaps open some ports on your router that Vent uses(which I'm not sure of).

    Perhaps try looking for other public vent servers and see if you can get on those?

    Norton isn't the best anti-virus program around, I'd uninstall it and get something like AVG.
