    So I spend $150 and I cant even connect to my own server to see what my players see!

    WTF People - I get a license error running FG twice on the same machine connection via 127.0.0.1 what is wrong with you people!

    I spend all this money and I cant even emulate what my players see!

    Try connecting to “localhost” as the server address.

    127.0.0.1 is localhost, so that should have worked. There's something else going on.

    As an aside, if you're this upset, ask for a refund. Smiteworks wants it's customers to be happy, and you're obviously way past that.

    Word of advice, if you think you should be able to do something with FG but can't figure out how, and you can't find it in the manual (I don't think this one is in the manual) or the forums, just ask ask nicely on the forums and people will be glad to help.

    For example, Using the Site Search function for "Player View" the top two links will give the solution Moon Wizard gave you; https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...l=1#post264109 & https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...l=1#post321003

    I myself love the Site Search function (It's just a custom Google search) and find it much more friendly than the forum search, but each to their own.

    Game on, have fun!

    I'm pretty sure it's in the FG code, it doesn't use the host file/Windows to allow the functionality, so the IP doesn't work where "localhost" will.

    (Or use a second computer using the demo version, and use your internal IP)

    I've had tremendous luck with that, using a mixture of Windows 10 machines and Macs.

    Ive used 127.0.0.1 before and it works. I might suspect its a firewall (antivirus) somewhere having issue

    I do it all the time. I would esquire more but damn is this the worst approach I have seen with someone "asking" for help.

    He doesn't want help, he wants to complain for some reason.

    Agreed. They have not been on the forums since they made that post - so obviously not actually seeking help.

    The previous posts from this user weren't very constructive either (to say the least).
