Perhaps, did you setup port forwarding or did things just work? Are you using FGC or FGU?
Making some assumptions (Things just worked and FGC), then you may need to reboot your router before you can switch which computer can host external clients as your router may not release the 'wrong' computer and start port forwarding to the 'right' computer. Sometimes the Router will switch fairly quickly, other times you have to reboot it and then launch FG only the computer you want to work.

Thanks LordEntrails. In truth, I don't know anything about port forwarding. I am using FGC and it just worked.

Sure, so what happens is your router can only port forward (direct traffic) inbound traffic (from your players) to one address (computer).
So when you started FG on one computer, your router said something like 'Oh hey, Computer A is listening for connections on port 1802, anything that comes from the internet on port 1802 should go to Computer A". Then you went and started Computer B and FG connections from the internet could not connect to it, because your router was still pointing all traffic at Computer A. Your router will do that for some amount of time (generally it doesn't expect this rule to be changing frequently, so it might keep the rule for an hour or a day, or it might get stuck until you reboot your router).
Just be aware of that behavior when you run FG on more than one computer. You might have to wait, or reboot your router to get things working with your 'new' computer.

How do I start a second instance?

I think on a mac you also need to install a demo version of FG and run that as the second instance.
If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

Someone wrote up this process for FGU on a Mac. Not sure it applies to FGC as I'm not Mac fluent.

This discussion is for Mac and FGC, but it's not a direct solution. But, I think it links to the answer...
