Alright, I realized I had not elaborated in the other thread and it wouldn't let me edit, so here it is: I have FG Classic Ultimate, and my players couldn't join me after they had just been in a game 3 hours earlier. I have xFinity, so I had to allow access to port 1802, which I did about 2 weeks ago. When I checked the connection, it was a success. But only one person could join. The other two players could join each other, but they could not join me. I even switched over to the Steam based FG and tried again, but it did not work. Any thoughts, or ideas of what might be happening?

Did you read the Xfinity thread?
You need ti whitelist every player connection individually every 30 days.

This is odd. Ive had comcast for 20 years...to this very day ive never done more than the steps to reserve an ip and open the ports. Never had issues with folks connecting.

Of course now that i said that watch they'll have problems connecting tonight....lol
