Ok, perhaps I am not as smart as I thought I was.
I have attempted to follow the directions throughout this thread and I am having general connection issues.
I have attempted to create/host a game, and I have attempted joining a game. Both fails.
I have enabled port forwarding on my router for port 1802. I have went as far as to completely disable all firewalls - Router - Windows Defender - BitDefender - I have tried creating rules for those as well to allow any/all connections through port 1802. I have contacted my ISP-they have input a ticket--will see where that goes.
my trace:
Attachment 29253
Canyouseeme.org shows port is not open.
From what I have read only the host needs to worry about port forwarding...so what gives with connecting to my DM when he is hosting and shows a good connection on his end?
Even if I can get the player side to work I need to resolve this, as we alternate gaming sessions (2 different campaigns-I am player in one, DM in another)
I am a bit on the frustrated side. I have a licensed copy I have purchased and would like to add some modules, but before I plop anymore $$ down I need to get this working.
