I'm guessing your wireless IP address was different yesterday to what it was on Friday.
You can only have one port forwarding rule. Remove any/all you already have and setup a new one for the static IP address you setup for your wired connection.Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

Thanks again Trenloe, it worked automatically for us tonight with Hamachi. I am note sure why it wasn't showing the PHB for him yesterday. It appears that we are all good to go now.

Also, and I just found this out because I tried to host an FG session that worked last time I tried it. It didn't work last night.
The reason? My ISP has been moving all residential accounts behind a CGNAT, which has the awesome side effect of hiding your IP address to the public. The CGNAT is used so they don't run out of IP4 addresses, and to to this, it uses one public IP address for potentially thousands of customers.
So, I banged my head against a wall for an hour trying to forward a port through my router. Checked all of the "port checker" web sites, tried the internal FG test, everything failed.
I had no idea that my ISP had moved me behind the CGNAT.
Hamachi was the solution for me.
I'm now in the process of trying to get a public IP address from my ISP, but it's proving less than fun.

Get and use a VPN, will probably be cheaper than a public IP from your ISP.

Hello so I'm wondering if this still works trying to get some friends online for this but they seem unable to connect still.
I am also completely brand new to fantasy ground so that may be my fault.
Edit: Figured it out. i now feel really dumb.Last edited by TheFirDarrig; June 1st, 2019 at 20:22.
