This is my first time using Fantasy Grounds. I am having trouble connecting to host. I have two computers and I am using two accounts. One is ultimate and the GM. The other is just the free version. I have the Host account up and ran the test and it said "Success". On the account trying to connect I tried to join game and entered the ip address. It tries for a bit and then says Error in big red stop sign and that I need to check my network settings and verify the ip address. IP address is the one given by the game. Any advice?

Thanks!

If your second computer is on the same network as the host, use the internal IP address, not the external IP or alias. Many routers will not allow the same traffic to exit and then return to the network.
