Hi all... I did a search for connection test failure here, and I am running into a brick wall with this. Here is the situation:
I hae two computers with FG License... A laptop with Win 10 Home, and a desktop with Ubuntu 15.10. I think both have the same licence number. I have FG running on the Ubuntu rig with Wine.
Here's the weird thing. I am able to host with my Ubuntu computer, BUT NOT MY WINDOWS computer. Here is what I have done so far:
1) Checked to see if port 1802 is open. It is not.
2) Forwarded my ports through my modem/router. Port 1802 has rules allowing both machines to connect.
3) Check firewall settings for both computers, and I have rules for permissions on both.
4) I completely shut down my Ubuntu computer and tried the connection test on my laptop, thinking maybe it was interfering with the port. It took a while, but after around 20 seconds FG said connection failure.
The weird thing is that while I am used to putting an alias down instead of the Address Information, this time (on my Win box) there is a static address in the Internal Box of 192.168.2.53. I didn't put that there, and I can't erase it. Even if I put the "Enable Alias" box on, it still won't let me connect. (I thought the Enable Alias box overrides the Address Information box?)
I'm not sure where to go from here. I *could* run FG from my ubutnu box, for now, but I am worried about portability.
Is there something I am missing here? Oh, and only one instance of FG is running while I am trying this. It's weird.
