Howdy. New user here (one of a lot, probably). I downloaded FGC yesterday and spent the day getting all the connectivity set up, including setting up the port forwards and added FG services to my firewall. I hit the "Run test" button and it came back successful. Great, awesome. I shut everything down and went to sleep, planning on testing it with a single player tonight to learn the interface and work out any kinks in anticipation of hosting a full online session of our regular group Saturday night.
Fast forward to about 30 minutes ago. I boot up, run FG, load the campaign, click "Run test" and...FAILURE. I check my firewall, check my port forwarding; everything is still setup as I left it yesterday when the test was successful. I then click on "<< Click to retrieve >>" my external IP in the client just for funsies. After about 30 or so seconds it returns, "Error!". OK, I think, maybe there's and update? I go into the FG settings and kick off a client update. The updater sits at "Getting packages from FG server" for about 15 seconds before returning, "ERROR - GetProducts: Network: time out".
I had the player I was going to test with try to run an update and a connection test and he comes back successful on both. So I know it's me and not FG.
So what could I have missed? What could possibly change on a reboot that would cause FG client connections (inbound and out) fail?
Thanks for any ideas. Much appreciated.
