Connection Test Failure

[Sabinaurea]

Hi,
I've enabled FG on my firewall & think I've done the port forwarding - still no connection success. I ran the 8.8.8.8 command and this is the result:

Any help is appreciated

Hi Sabinaurea

Hop #2 is the likely issue.
Please log onto your router at 192.168.1.1 and check what its WAN or Internet address is.
Is it the same or similar to what FG shows is your External IP?

[Sabinaurea]

Yes, both places list the external IP as 75.136.73.213

[damned]

ok thats good.
send me your email by PM if you would like me to have a look with you.
that address should be able to work.

Hello,

I have been trying everything I can to get the port open for fantasy grounds and so far I'm having no luck with it, hopefully you can help me out with this. I think part of my issue is that I'm not entirely sure how my internet connection works. I have a fixed point wireless connection, I have spoke to my ISP and had them bridge the connection for me, and I've gone into my router (linksys E1200) and setup port forwarding but that still didn't work. I tried to do DHCP reservation for my computer but the client list shows up empty and it won't allow me to manually add my computer to the list either. I have gone into windows and deleted and reissued the incoming rules in the firewall. I checked that my network is set to private and not public. The only thing I'm running for anti virus is windows defender.

If there's anything you can offer to help out with this, it would be much appreciated.

welcome Darqualan

you have two routers taht are doing NAT on your network.
One may very well belong to the ISP though - 10.203.200.200
Can you browse to https://10.203.200.200 ??
Do you have login details?

Otherwise login to your router and find its WAN/Internet address and call the ISP and ask them to pretty please prt forward TCP1802 on their router to your router - and to always give your router the same WAN address so it continues to work into the future...
They may or may not entertain the idea...

[Darqualan]

Unfortunately, I do not have the login details for https://10.203.200.200 I will however, call them again ask about that. I told the tech I spoke to what I was attempting to do and he understood exactly (he's got a family member who is into D&D). He told me that he had set the radio to bridge mode. I'll give them another call about it and see what I can get worked out, I appreciate the assistance.

Radio?
If you are on some type of satellite dish you are very likely out of luck.

Its not exactly a sat connection, but I imagine its similar. I am currently staying with my mother who is very ill, and she lives in the middle of nowhere. So cable and DSL aren't available here, the only options are Sat and fixed point wireless. I have a sat like receiver on the house, receiving a signal from a repeater down the road.

That's what I meant when I said that I didn't understand exactly how this internet connection works.

Sounds like a setup I had before they ran fiber out here. You have a radio attached to an antenna on your roof. If your provider puts the radio into bridge mode, it should forward everything from one side to the other without change, and should basically be invisible. It's been a while since I used my setup, but I didn't have any problems getting the provider to set it up for me so that I could have a server running.

Still have the antenna:
