Player can not connect to campaign. Campaign data download does not progress. Can someone help us? We're playing (or trying ...).

If they have actually connected (the GM sees a message in the chat window "Trenloe connected" or similar) then the main issue will be size of data being downloaded, upload bandwidth of the GM, download bandwidth of the player, network reliability of the GM and/or player - usually because they're on WiFi. If either the GM or the player are on WiFi then they should move as close to their WiFi router as possible - use a physical (network cable) connection if they can.

If the player has connected but is not downloading data, and all of the other players are working OK, then it will be the player side connection - probably a low strength WiFi connection or someone else on that connection hogging all the bandwidth.

It's very strange . Other players connected normally. And there's not that much data in campaign to download He tried fun another FG demo on another computer and it is giving host error.

We're both on the same network (I'm using wifi at his house), is this a problem?

For the player on the same network, don't use the alias or the external address to connect, use the Internal IP address of the GM computer.
