In completing some final "due diligence" before purchasing the FG software, I have read a number of reviews. Most have been very positive on the software but a couple did mention issues with a stable connection. Furthermore, I have heard some of you in threads mention issues related to IP addresses, Routers, Ports and other things.
I have very little understanding of such computer "things". What I do know is that I have a DSL connection through SBC, a physical firewall in the form of a Router and a couple of anti-virus & Pest Patrol programs.
Given this information, can anyone comment on what issues or problems I may encounter when trying to take part in or run a session using the FG software?
Also, have any of you experienced any stability issues with your connection? One of the individuals who mentioned this in his review stated that it seemed to be a problem once he exceeded about 4 people in his group. I also noticed that those who indicated connection problems had posted their reviews last fall. Is it possible that this was a short-term problem that has already been addressed?
Finally, I mention this because I find it quite funny, there was one individual who listed the price of FG as being too high. I'm sorry, but even on a college budget I would have been able to see the great value this software offers.
Thanks for your responses.
