Has been a while I had to make a connected, but if you are using a router/firewall, you need to open port 182 (if I am not mistaken) for FG. You can search for this on this forum :)

Edit: looks like it's port 1802 ;)

You are not connecting. Likely whoever is hosting has not forwarded port 1802 properly or winblows firewall thinks you shouldn't control your computer again.

I'd like to point you to the Networking FAQ (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/faq.php?faq=networking) as a first cure attempt.

I had the same issue early on and as Ged pointed out above, walking through the FAQ cleared everything up nicely.
