Cannot pass the Connection Test to host a game.
I'll add that I'm on a new PC and this was not a problem before, which would insinuate that my wireless router isn't the issue.

1. Your LAN IP Address
[redacted]

2. The first two sets (octects) of your WAN IP as displayed by Fantasy Grounds and as displayed by your Router
[redacted]

3. Whether you are using Wired or Wireless (and not both)
Wireless

4. Confirmation that you have set your Adapter in Network and Sharing Centre to Private
Yes, this has been set to Private

5. Confirmation of what AV you are running and whether you have set any exceptions
McAfee
Ports and Systems Services added:
Name: Fantasy Grounds
Port(s): Local TCP/IP Ports: 1802
Open ports to: All PCs
Forward port activity to other PCs using Internet Connection: Yes

Internet Connections for Programs:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Fantasy Grounds\FantasyGrounds.exe"
Incoming and outgoing: Use designated ports (recommended)
I've also tried setting this as Open to All Devices, but no luck
Net Guard: Off

6. Post the results of the tracert 8.8.8.8 command (if you have security concerns you can remove this bit once its been responded to)

[redacted]

7. Confirmation as to what you have setup in your Router if changes have been made
Added rule to rourter for port forwarding 1802

Any help is appreciated.

If nothing has changed apart from a new computer the most likely thing that would be the issue is your port forward rule would need to be updated to point at the IP address of your computer since that will almost certainly have changed.

Zacchaeus, you are a gentleman and a scholar! This has resolved the issue.

Thank you kindly!
