I have DM's about 5 games through FG and everything has gone fine.

Suddenly my players can't connect, and when I run the network test it fails..

WTF over?

Any idea what is going on and more importantly how can I fix it? We are playing in 20 minutes.

Step 1: reboot your router.

Then, if it still isn't working, the most common reason for this will be that your computer's IP address has changed and the port forwarding on your router is still pointing at the old IP address. Check what IP address your computer is using now and then login to your Internet router and verify this is the IP address setup to port forward port 1802.

Trenloe's suggestion is spot on. It normally means the router needs a reboot or needs to be reconfigured to point to a new IP address that it has assigned your computer within your local network.
