In my Network and Sharing Center, I have it set to private. I was using both a wired internet connection and Wifi, and had no issues, but since being told I should be only using one while playing, I only have a wired connection now. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Fantasy Grounds, but still no luck. When I ran the program (can't remember the name) where you put in the port number and see it is is recognized, it is never recognized. I have also checked with and with and without the Express VPN connected, the internal and external ip addresses DO match what is found on the Fantasy Grounds loading page.

I ran the connection test again and again, a no go. So I connected it, and in the options I changed to protocol to TCP. I tried disconnecting my Express VPN and ran the Fantasy Grounds connection test, and again it failed. I then made a new port rule, setting it as TCP, checking the Domain, Private, and Public boxes, choosing Local Port 1802, and describing it as Port 1802 for Fantasy Grounds.
#PORTFORWARD FANTASY GROUNDS 2 UPDATE#
I then added the Fantasy Grounds, Fantasy Grounds update engine, and Fantasy Grounds updater, setting all 3 to Private. In Windows Defender, I have gone into the Advanced settings and inbound rules, deleting all references to Fantasy Grounds (I believe there were 3 of them). I have uninstalled my Avast software, and am only using Windows Defender. I have a modem that was provided for me by my Spectrum cable internet service. Here is what I have done so far: Please note: I do NOT have a router, so have done nothing with regard to that. There was an update I ran for Fantasy grounds last Thursday, and out of the 4 players, only my wife could connect, as she is the only one using the same internet local connection side by side in our home.Īfter trying to test the connection on the Fantasy grounds launch screen and having it fail each time, I have been scouring these message boards and trying all the things I can find to try and make it work.

I started hosting a game of 4 players several months ago, and up until last Thursday, have always been able to connect and play.
