Hey all, I've been looking at some virtual tabletops and Fantasy Grounds seems not only to be among the best but also to have a lively and active community and development, so I'm leaning heavily towards it.
I have one question though; to play it's me a couple roommates in my place on the same DSL router, as well as a couple cousins who live separately.
So essentially, if we all get FG, I will be DMing / hosting, two players will be on the same LAN and trying to connect via my network IP, and the other two or three will be connecting remotely via the internet IP (I know all about port forwarding though, no worries there).
Will it work? Is it possible for some players to connect via the internal network IP of say 192.168.1.93, and the others over the regular internet IP with forwarded port? It does become a bit of an important point for us.
If it isn't possible, is there some workaround somewhere for people on a LAN to connect to the same IP that they're on? (I doubt it..)
Thanks all for any help!
