I need help. I have FG on my PC and it works fine, both as a player and a GM. My wife is taking over the GM job. We are both on the same router/modem. I have setup port forwarding on her IP and I still cannot get a connection. Port forwarding was setup on my IP a while ago, but I set it up the same, only the IP is different. I have verified that her IP is correct. We are both running Norton, and I have those set up the same as well. I don't know what else to try.

Hi Gooch,

A couple of things: did you disable port forwarding on your IP address - port forwarding is for one IP Address/Port combination, and won't work correctly if its set up for two different IP addresses (well, you can do it commercially, but the equipment costs a fortune).

I also assume you set things up on the Router/Modem (which would be common to both PCs).

Get back to me and we'll see what we can do to help

Cheers

check also from YOUR PC that you can connect to the BOSS PC via the INTERNAL IP Address when she has a game loaded.
if you cant connect on the INTERNAL IP then you have something (Norton or WIndows Firewall) blocking incoming TCP 1802 connections.

still stuck - send me a PM and we can work something out.

Thanks Guys. Oz, the issue was I was trying to forward it to both IPs as soon as I deleted mine, hers started working. Thanks for the help and education. And thank you damned for the offer of assistance, you guys were fast. Much appreciated.

In case you haven't got this organised already, try this:

Application name: Fantasy Grounds
External Port: 1802
Internal Port: 1802
Protocol: TCP
To IP Address: 192.168.1.123
Enabled: Yes.
