Running a test for you now, I sent you a PM with details to join. I'll keep it up for a while, but hopefully you see this soon.

Note: When connecting to another person's game, unless they are using Himachi you don't run it. When you are connecting to another person's campaign it isn't any different than calling up a webpage really, there isn't any special permissions required other than allowing FG through your firewall.

Sorry, gotta shut it down. Maybe someone else will be able to help you in the future if you need it.

And it was a Verizon issue. They had me change port filtering to on on my mifi jet pack. It needed to be off

This is true on a residential network but very often not the case from a work network.

In the same way that it's good for the game to keep a Teamspeak server up, it'd probably be good for the game to keep a server up at all times, maybe with the alias "fantasy grounds awesome game" and a different ruleset open each week. That way everyone could test their client connections, and people might get exposed to a different game than the one they're already committed to.

I've tried a couple of times today to post this idea on Moon's wish list, but haven't been able to get Idea Informer to behave. Probably need to reboot my system, but can't do that yet.
