    You only need TCP, not UDP.

    Please try the second instance of FG localhost test.

    The test seemed to be a success. It joined.

    And by a success, I mean I could join the localhost. Does that mean people elsewhere should be able to join, despite it showing a Failure with the Connection test? I've tried joining with the laptop on the same local network and it isn't working.

    It tells us that there is something blocking communication on the network interface of your computer. More than likely security software.

    When you tried to join on the same local network did you use address 192.168.2.199 to connect?

    No, I tried localhost and then the alias. I'll try the specific IP.

    edit - nope, the IP didn't work either.

    edit edit - I checked and my IP had changed to 192.168.2.6, which seems to be working. The laptop is currently connected.

    That's probably why your connection test wasn't working too.

    You'll need to change your virtual server on the router to see this new IP address.

    It's worth setting up a static IP address for your GM computer so this won't happen again.

    Sounds like you will need to check your port forwarding rules. The internal IP probably changed when you rebooted your router. You also might be able to reserve an internal IP for your host so that the next time the router reboots you don't have to update the port forward rules.

    Hello FG Universe - so I have an iMac and use Parallels to run Windows 10 for Fantasy Grounds. Looking for some guidance on how to apply the above steps so I can host FG demo users with my Ultimate license. Based on the above posts, I just realized that I have the intelligence of pond scum as it applies to firewall/port configurations, so I was hoping some good-aligned forum hero would come along and rescue me from my woeful ignorance.

    Hello fightingcrow60

    So you are running a virtual instance of Windows?
    Launch a cmd prompt and type
    ipconfig
    and check what IP address you have.
    If the first 3 sets of digits are the same as the IP address on your Mac then you will need to setup a port forward on your router to the IP address displayed in ipconfig.
    The port forward rule will go on your router and is tcp 1802 on the wan interface to tcp 1802 on this parallels ip address.

    if that doesnt work do the folling in your cmd prompt
    tracert 8.8.8.8
    and post the first 10 lines.
    and in Mac
    Launch Network Utility
    Click Traceroute.
    8.8.8.8
    Click Trace.
    paste the first 10 lines here also.
