Hey gabriel0307
your WAN IP address is also CGNat by your ISP. As you are in Brazil i think the only way to fix that is to pay your ISP.
NetRange: 100.64.0.0 - 100.127.255.255
CIDR: 100.64.0.0/10
NetName: SHARED-ADDRESS-SPACE-RFCTBD-IANA-RESERVED
NetHandle: NET-100-64-0-0-1
Parent: NET100 (NET-100-0-0-0-0)
NetType: IANA Special Use
You should look at the Port Forwarding Alternatives - give Hamachi a go.
I ended up getting Unity and that has solved the problem. However, it's pretty slow. Is that normal?
I have to ask the question why is ther 35 pages of connection issue posts? I just tried to fire up the software and host a game for the first time and I have spent the better part of the day trying to become an expert in IT rather then enjoy a game with my friends on Fantasy Grounds. I know I know, just ask for help, I have to ask why? Why should I spen over 300 dollars on software to come to find out that I have to spend hours trying to trouble shoot connectivity issues? Where in all of the Fantasy Ground advertisment does it say, hey this is great software package, unless you are not an IT expert, then be ready to sink hours into resolving IT connectivity issues that you have no idea how to handle instead of having fun playing D&D! Sorry but you lost me on this one. I requested a refund and even if I don't get it back I really don't care at this point I am so frustrated and saddened. It is such cool software mechanicall, but this connectivity stuff is completely unprofessional from a software design firm. I will likely go to Roll20 after hearing that my friends logged into Roll20 last night while I sat on FG trying to just pass the connectivity test and were up and running with no connectivity issues. I finally did get the software to pass the connectivity test and turn green and and I thought I was ready to show my group the wonders of FG, as it is truly cool software, but then to my surprise, after so much hype, we spent the last 4 hours wth trying to connect and failing miserabley cause they cannot download files (even though I have no modules loaded to the campaign)?!!! I hope you get it right, I truly do, but until then I will be taking my business elsewhere. And I hope you do the right thing and refund my hard earned money. We are all not IT experts and you should not expect your customers to have to do soo much trouble shooting and your work for you. Sorry FG but Epic Fail...Epic Fail..
Sorry you had challenges. You are in a very tiny, but growing minority. Don't worry, you'll get your refund. Never heard of anyone having problems with a refund request. SmiteWorks excels at customer service.Quote:

LordEntrails,
If FGU fixes these issues and the software operates as promised in regards to connectivity, I am all for going that route. As I said, I love the software mechanics and functionality, its just these connectivity issues are completely unacceptable from an average customer's perspective (one that is not IT/network savvy). The fact that all these people accept these connectivity issues and are willing to go well beyond what should be asked of them to make this software work is quite surprising and likely would not fare well in any other market space. Can you imagine if your average consumer was expected to solve these kinds of IT/network problems on a game or device they purchased? They would be storming the castle with pitchforks and demanding that heads roll! I get it, its old software, but there should be clear warning on the website (outside of digging into teh forums to see these issues exist) about the skill sets that may be needed to navigate these issues. Anyways just finishing my venting for 8 hours of frustration. I do appreciate the quick response. Do you have a link to where it specifically states that the FGU system will solve these connectivity issues. I am just hesitant to spend another $90 without some reassurance and guarantees that these issues are indeed resolved with FGU.

So, though the intention is to resolve this with FGU, it is not yet resolved. (Note their were 2 updates today for FGU, both aimed at working this issue.)
As I think you know, if you buy through the FG Store (this website), you have a 30 day money back guarantee. I'm confident they will have the network lobby issues fixed well before then, but if they don't you can get your refund before then.
Just don't forget that the few that have a serious issue post here and it takes several posts to resolve. So it accumulates to a lot of pages. I am having an issue on my daughter's computer now, was working and quit in the middle of a session. I think the virus software but now I need to go there.
Children, we never stop taking care of our children do we? That is until they start wiping the drool from our chins!

7. Confirmation as to what you have setup in your Router if changes have been made
I’ve set 192.168.100.78 as my PC’s as its static internal IP
In IPv4 Port Mapping I’ve created a rule forwarding connections to TCP port 1802 (set both as internal and external port) to my PC’s static IP, I’ve tried this with only TCP 1802, and with all the ports mentioned at portforward.com (TCP: 1802,27015-27030,27036-27037 and UDP: 4380,27000-27031,27036) setting TCP and UDP to each as stated and TCP/UDP to all.
I ran netstat -an | findstr "1802" (With FG Running and a campaign loaded as if wating for players to connect), it reads:
TCP 0.0.0.0:1802 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING.
I can’t see my service at canyouseeme.org, and Wireshark app can’t see any packet transit.
Also tried disabling the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) entry in services.msc. and the problem was not solved.
Note: I’d been using FG for almost two years in this PC and recall having some trouble first setting it up, but not nearly this much… I switched ISPs this week and haven’t figured out how to make it work. I just checked with my ISPs Tech Support and they say they don’t block anything related to port forwarding, the router is UPnP enabled, it’s a Huawei HG8145V5.
Can’t think of anything else, hope it’s enough for you to be able to throw some pointers my way.
Best regards.

Your ISP has aggregated multiple customers on each IPv4 address. Please have a look at the Port Forwarding Alternatives thread. For me Hamachi or PureVPN are the easiest to work with but all the options there are viable.
You might also try the Fantasy Grounds Unity version - it will likely just work - however it is still well and truly in Beta and you should expect interruptions/errors.
