My friend lives in Canada but stayed the winter break at my house in Florida. We bought and downloaded FG2 (well I upgraded from lite to full) and played through the tutorial module and Wizard's Amulet. Everything worked great! I was using my home computer and he was using his laptop which has Vista, mine has XP. He set up in another room and I gave him the IP address and which he typed in. We also switched hosting.
Anyways, long story short, he went back to Canada and now we can't connect. I double/triple checked the IP address and still nothing. We both tried hosting and nothing. It does give an error message, it just states that we were unable to connect.
I don't know what the issue is but we do have a slight delay when we Skype, about 2.5 -3 secods. Am I timing out because of the time?
We tried using Vassal to play a boardgame and that ran just fine without a hitch.
We're kinda bummed because we really liked our RPG sessions here. ( and we'll be out $80 if we can't get it to work)
I have no idea what to try next...:(
