I don't see that. I thought that IPV6 addresses were 8 sets of 4 alphanumerics separated by colons, like asdf:1234:zxcv:0987:qwer:5678:qoiu:6543

An update on my issue.
I installed PureVPN with port forwarding and a dedicated IP, and I turned off my firewall. I am able to connect to my son's game while on the VPN, but he cannot connect to mine. WTF?
You should not need your firewall turned off with the VPN. Are you using the VPN IP address to connect, are all connections set at private and are you connecting to the server with the dedicated IP address and the user ID associated with it?
The reason for asking all 8 questions is that the answer is usually revealed in the answers.
You need to find the WAN address that the router shows
and post the tracert
For AV and firewall rules you need to accept incoming connections on tcp1802 do not set the source port
Mostly when you have 4 private network hops like you do in the tracert you cant do port forwarding.
However in #2 you say that the router shows the same WAN IP address as FG reports.
Which device shows 172.38.something as its WAN ip address?
What device is 192.168.1.1?
What device is 192.168.0.1?
Can you browse to 10.164.3.1?
I've resolved the issue. Apparently, a VPN client (Checkpoint VPN) that I installed for a company I'm working created the problem. If I run FGC without that software installed (FGC won't even work if I completely quit the software--it can't even be running in the background unconnected), then everything works fine. As soon as I install Checkpoint VPN, the problem comes back. I haven't figured out what is going on with the VPN client to cause this, but at least I've identified the source of the problem.
Hello Damed,
My AV/Firewall are configured to allow incoming on TCP port 1802. My buddy downloaded FGC and is on my home network. We were able to connect to each other without a problem. While he was connected, I ran netstat. The results were: netstat -an | findstr "1802" TCP 192.168.4.32:1802 192.168.4.53:51731 TIME_WAIT
After some time, was finally able to get my WAN info from my modem. It does match FGC. Below is what I had previously deleted.

For whatever reason, I cannot get my snips (.PNG format) to copy to the forum. Let me know if you want them and how you would like me to get them to you.
***Update***
Did a factory reset on my modem. Redid the settings on it and now it works properly. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Checkpoint has probably set a network connection and set it to be the primary. Therefore even when not connected, FG is trying to use that IP to display on teh connection screen. You can either; 1) disable the network connector, or 2) go into your registry and change the network adapter order so your VPN is after your regular NIC.
