FG Unity Woes

[Gryfen]

My Crew and I Have been using classic since 08, I've just upgraded to FGU 4.06 Ultimate, because some of my players can't afford to by another version, so they will need to use the Demo.
However, I have the Demo version on a second PC, and cant seem to get it connected (My Daughter uses the second PC when we play our weekly game with classic and has never had an issue)
When i go to connect with the 2nd PC it gets to " Attempting Direct connection to server. [xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1802] and just sits there, i've checked the IP made sure its all good, Checked and double checked the ports on my router, Both copies are 4.06, mine is v4.0.6Ultimate (2020-12-23) the demo is v4.0.6 FREE (2020-12-23)
Any help is appreciated. thank you.

Are you trying to host a cloud game, and have a local connection, or, are you ALL using the older IP port forwarding method? I do not think you can do both in the same session if so.
Also, check this out maybe?

Well, I was using the external IP .... but the link, you shared was very helpful, thank you.

Make sure that the host starts a Cloud Public game. In the second computer type in the host's name (their forum user name) into the Join by GM Name.
