Unable to connect to a local PC

**Stuggs** · March 17th, 2020, 05:16

So I have the ultimate License and I'm trying to get a different computer on the same IP to be able to connect to my hosted game. I made sure that both computers are not using the same license. The GM PC has the ultimate license while the other PC has a demo license.

I know the port is working because I can get my friend to connect on a separate IP. When I connect with my internal address on the same PC I am able to connect.

I've tried turning off both computer's anti viruses but to no avail.

Connect to the GMs computer using its LAN address not teh Alias or External Address.

Thanks for the quick reply! I tried inputting the host's internal IP but it still won't connect

Describe your setup?
is the GM computer wired or wireless?
Is the Player computer wired or wireless?
Do they both have similar IPs - eg the first three octets are the same - eg 192.168.1.55 and 192.168.1.12?

Both are wired. In terms of IP do you mean the internal IP shown with Fantasy Grounds or are you referring to something else?

Internal IP as shown by FG.

Ah ok, the first three sections are not the same.

Is this at your home or some other location?

They are both at home.

Is there a way to go around this issue by using my own computer twice somehow? Since I am fully capable of using my own internal IP to join my own server as a player on the same PC
