The test seemed to be a success. It joined.Quote:

No, I tried localhost and then the alias. I'll try the specific IP.
edit - nope, the IP didn't work either.
edit edit - I checked and my IP had changed to 192.168.2.6, which seems to be working. The laptop is currently connected.
That's probably why your connection test wasn't working too.Quote:

It's worth setting up a static IP address for your GM computer so this won't happen again.
Sounds like you will need to check your port forwarding rules. The internal IP probably changed when you rebooted your router. You also might be able to reserve an internal IP for your host so that the next time the router reboots you don't have to update the port forward rules.Quote:

Hello fightingcrow60
So you are running a virtual instance of Windows?
Launch a cmd prompt and type
ipconfig
and check what IP address you have.
If the first 3 sets of digits are the same as the IP address on your Mac then you will need to setup a port forward on your router to the IP address displayed in ipconfig.
The port forward rule will go on your router and is tcp 1802 on the wan interface to tcp 1802 on this parallels ip address.
if that doesnt work do the folling in your cmd prompt
tracert 8.8.8.8
and post the first 10 lines.
and in Mac
Launch Network Utility
Click Traceroute.
8.8.8.8
Click Trace.
paste the first 10 lines here also.
