I have not had this issue in a long time with my Full License. Is there something going on and the non-Unity FG is no longer connecting at all or is it my computer only? I checked my firewall settings and everything is set up correctly, but now I am having connection issues and wonder is this external or internal, and what do I need to do to get it going again?
Thanks for any assistance
Its something on your computer or network. Here are some possibilities;
- Windows Update has now set your connection type to public
- Your ISP has changed you to IPv6
- You modem/router/gateway is no longer forwarding using UPnP and may need to be rebooted
- Your security software has decided to start blocking FG
- Your computer internal IP has changed and your port forwarding needs to be updated.

Check that your network is still set to private. Delete any and all rules in your anti virus and create new ones. And check that your port forward rule is still pointing at the correct internal IP address since that can change. Oh, and also first reboot your router; sometimes that’s all it takes.
I have been experiencing disconnects/reconnects for a couple months as well. I thought it was my wifi router, but after factory resetting it, and then replacing it with a Tap-Link mesh that gets me top quality link status all the time, I am moving my diagnosis to the computer. I have updated the network driver with the latest (uncertified) driver, to no avail.Quote:

I’m using Windows 10 64 bits on a Dell XPS 13 laptop. I did change laptop during winter, but I’m not sure if the timing of the issues coincide. Other than reinstalling my previous laptop, I’m running out of idea to diagnose this.
If you are on Wi-Fi switch to a directly wired connection.
Hi Lil, welcome to FG.Quote:

Have a look at this post and answer the questions at the end if you don’t find a solution in the text. https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...ions-Explained
Hi Lil2
Can you open two command prompts (cmd) when next playing or running
in the first type
ping 192.168.1.1 -t but use your routers address as the target instead of 192.168.1.1
and in the second type
ping 8.8.8.8 -t
When you have a disconnect or timeout check these windows
if the first and second pings are timing out then the issue is on your pc or wifi router
if the first works and the second doesnt then you have an issue with the actual internet connection
Definitely try and test with a network cable instead of wifi
