Have you ever needed to be logged into two separate Ventrilo servers at the same time? If you’re a casual gamer then you likely have not had to deal with this dilemma before, but if you play online games as much as I do then you may have come across one or more instances where you’ve needed to do this. By default, Ventrilo will only let you login to one Ventrilo server at a time. Fear not! This ability is exceedingly easy to setup. First, find the shortcut that you use to launch your Ventrilo client. Once located, whether it is on your desktop, your start menu, or on your Windows toolbar, simply right-click on the icon and select “Properties” from the menu that pops up. This should bring up the following window:

Place your cursor in the “Target:” box then add a space and the a -m after the quotation at the end of the line like so:

After

Once you have made this change, click the “OK” button at the bottom of the screen and you’re done.

Now you can open as many instances of the Ventrilo client as you want by clicking on your newly edited shortcut and be logged into as many Ventrilo servers at the same time as your multi-tasking brain can handle! You can further configure different hotkey settings for each Ventrilo server that you connect to so that you can have a different push-to-talk key for each server.
