Problem: While hosting guest dice rolls and chat stops working/I cant connect as a gu

[Rusher]

Hi All,

A friend and I both have ultimate licenses.

When I host a game they can log in and everything is fine for the first minute or so. They start to make a character and I can no longer see their dice rolls or chat.
Relogging fixes this, but it repeats moments later.

When I try to log into a game they host I cannot log in. I get the "Connecting..." message.

Here is some general info:
- Windows 10
- I am on a private network
- I have one router
- 1802 is open
- Fantasy Grounds is open on incoming Firewall
- Static IP
- Connection test is successful
- Tracert Info
I'll add this if needed

Thanks in advance

Welcome Rusher

Can you launch a serving session on your computer and connect to
localhost
See if the same thing happens to that client session

For the other.
Does their connection test pass?
Are they on a WiFi connection?
How solid is the WiFi strength?

[Rusher]

Hello,

Yes, I can run a localhost game without problem.

Their Connection test passes.
They are on WiFi. The strength is generally very good.
I am on a LAN by the way.

Thanks!

Can you have the other open two cmd potions and in the first type

ping 8.8.8.8 - n 1000

And in the other do the same command but long their router or gateway ip address

Do they excoriating any drops? What %%?

They could also try turning on compatability mode in settings.

You may as well try the ping tests too.

[Rusher]

The ping test (ping 8.8.8.8 -n 1000) came back without any drops. avg 7ms

Sorry I don't follow on the 2nd part of your request? Were you just looking for the same test to the gateway IP address?
I can ping my Gateway IP address and ran that same ping test. no drops avg 1ms (I don't think that is what you wanted though)

Thanks!

See what the ping results are when you try to ping their gateway IP. i.e. change the 8.8.8.8 to whatever their IP is.

I cannot ping their gateway IP. It timed out.

Adding to post:
I can however ping their static IP address. If that is relevant.

Thanks

Hi Rusher - Im mostly interested in the data from the other side.

The second ping test is to the router.
Pinging google gives an indication of overall packet loss including on the internet side.
If packet loss is occurring then running the ping also against the router will tell us if the loss if Wifi related or internet connection related.

Typically you wont be able to ping their gateway.

Hello,

I was informed that the 8.8.8.8 teast and the gateway Ip test went through without a problem on their side.

Thanks
