hey guys so i needed to port forward 1802 to allow people to join. This was all working fine until today. now im getting a failure during connection test and people are unable to join my game. I check to make sure the IP hasn't changed everything is the exact same and connected to the right IP. Any clues why this would happen. ?

Usually it is because your internal network ID has changed. But it could also be because your ISP has started consolidated IP addresses. Run a tracert 8.8.8.8 and post the results of the first ten lines here.

As LordEntrails says the most likely scenario is that your internal IP address has changed. In other words the IP address of your computer. Look at the start up screen on FG and it will tell you there what your internal IP address is. Go into your router and make sure that Port 1802 is pointing to that address.

3 12 ms 13 ms * 70.76.0.1

So is your Port forward pointing to 192.168.1.1?
