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:

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.

Sorry you are having problems I'mnot one of the network guru's, but lets see if I can help.
The first thing I would look at from your comments, you say you can not join a game as a player? Can other people join the GMs game? If so, then the problem is more basic and is probably due to security on your end. What type of network are you connected to? Home, library, coffee shop, work, etc?
As a reminder, these are the 7 questions that are usually all the guru's need in order to help you. Not sure you answered all of them. Can you please confirm the answers to the questions?

Home network - I have it set to private, not public - it is a wired network (ethernet)
AV-Bitdefender- in the firewall I have it set to allow all/any access for FG - I will look at exceptions in the AV portion.

maybe some of these help answer things..I may have screwed up somewhere.
My DM didn't have anyone else attempting to log into his campaign at the time, however he could at least pass the 'connection' test. However I couldn't connect to his game.
Thanks BTW

This shows that there is another internal device (192.168.1.1) between you and the Internet. That will need to be port forwarded to your router - which is shown as having an IP address of 192.168.2.1, but will also have an IP address of 192.168.1.xx, which is what you'll need to port forward to on the 192.168.1.1 device.
Correct, only the host needs the port forwarding operating correctly. So I'd recommend you concentrate on getting the player connection working first... Maybe take LordEntrails up on his offer of trying to connect to his table.Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

Now I have to figure out how to get that accomplished...I contacted my ISP but they were literally useless in providing any assistance.
My PC is connected to the router via Ethernet connection...router is wireless for other items on the network..kids Switch, family members tablets etc
Trying to figure out what it is that is blocking me and how to forward the port on it

You're welcome. Let us know if you get stuck again. I'll keep my table open for a while longer in case you want to try again, etc.
