So I've got a ATT Uverse 2WIRE 3801 HGV.
I try to allow 1802 port connection for Fantasy Grounds like so.

And then I get a blank screen like this.

Any thoughts?

Make sure you use 1802, you have 1801 in your screenshot.

For the blank screen: try a different browser.

Is that the DM browser for Android?

If so, I'd recommend trying some different browsers on a PC - Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, etc..

So far I've tried Chrome and Explorer on the PC.

Hi GoddTodd im online now if you still need help.

[GoddTodd]

Damned got me pretty far. Thank you.
Eventually it came down to convincing ATT Uverse to update the 2Wire router software.
It would have been nice if they hadn't convinced me to buy the ATT Connec Tech service (who determined also that it was Uverse's problem).
I got FG connecting on one computer.
Looks like I may not be able to connect via the other laptop on the same network.
But that's a problem/decision for tomorrow.
It's 2:25 am and I'm going to bed.
Thanks everyone for the advice. There was a few pertinent nuggets in Trenloe's link as well. Thank you.

Hola GoodTodd - note where the connection test is?
Its on the Load Campaign and New Campaign pages.
Its not on the Join Campaign page. Players dont need to pass the connection test.
If you are the GM you can only do it from one computer on the network - or you will have to reconfigure your router each time you switch.
Pick one computer as your GM computer only.

Can it be a feature request to just have the software figure it out? I play in a group that switches locations where I don't always have router access to modify. Just know that most modern P2P or hosted games don't have this level of work to make work. Static IP's aren't required, neither is non standard forwarding for anything I've used recently.

Welcome mribeiro. Unfortunately the current game engine does not support this. It is very likely that the Unity build will support the current direct connect model as well as a brokered model that doesnt require any firewall setup but that wont happen until next year.
Try Hamachi if you move about a lot: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...ng-Try-Hamachi
