Hi folks

I have a Macbook and i'm trying to connect as a player (full license) to someone else's game. I have FG installed through Wineskin.

Here is a dump of my Console.log

I do not have access to the router here where I am, so cannot do anything with that at all. I have tried port 1802 on the open port checker on canyouseeme.org and it says it cannot see the port.

I'm guessing that if I don't have access to the router and can't access port 1802, i'm pretty much stuffed?

Any and all Mac-specific advice gratefully received please.

Hey highrisedrifter as a player you do not need to make any changes to most routers. I say most routers because many work/corporate routers will block all traffic by default and only allow ones they want to - which probably wont include Fantasy Grounds... where are you playing from?
