I'm going to move us into a thread to keep things tidy. Do you know how to create a port forwarding rule?

bronze echo
#

Understood, thank you.

I believe I did it the first time I attempted, but I could be mistaken. This is my first time mucking around in the router much.

#

For what it is worth, I'm using an ATT BGW320 which seems to have some slightly different capabilities from other routers. Some instructions I found didn't quite match up.

I am a little time limited though, as I need to step away in about 15 minutes

#

And if your time is up, no problem. I appreciate the help. I can wait!

muted maple
#

So disable that. That's bad

bronze echo
#

Done

muted maple
#

That is what is giving you the false positive with the green checkmark

#

So click on Firewall

Guess I did something here, too!

#

Good good. Hop back over ot foundry and restore it to port 30000

bronze echo
#

Roger. I'm reopening it now.

#

And it appears to give me a closed connection

muted maple
#

What address does your invite link say is the local address?

Okay great. Delete that FoundryVTT rule in the screenshot

#

Then from the service list find Foundr VTT and in the device needed, find the one that says 192.168.1.78

bronze echo
#

I actually don't have an option for that!

muted maple
#

Take a screenshot of the list

bronze echo
#

Little big, apologies

Okay select that from that dropdown (incidently it is matching what we just deleted but that's okay)

bronze echo
#

It has that option twice; could that have been the problem?

muted maple
#

Couple more steps to check now

bronze echo
#

Maybe I should do it for both?

muted maple
#

Yeah, are you connected with wifi and wired?

bronze echo
#

Yes!

muted maple
#

That is the problem

#

Okay windows defender really doesn't like that

#

The best course of action here is to disconnect from one of those methods and then rename your PC

bronze echo
#

Alright, I disconnected from the wireless

#

I'll admit, I don't recall how to rename

muted maple
#

Yeah honestly I am not sure either. Let me quickly google it

bronze echo
#

Got it!

#

Brb

#

Okay, I have remade the Hosting Entry with the new name

muted maple
#

Great. Is foundry running?

bronze echo
#

Spooling up now

muted maple
#

I can reach your game now

bronze echo
#

That is fantastic! Thank you very much for your help.

muted maple
#

No problem, make sure you get an admin password on there so random people don't mess with your settings

bronze echo
#

Thanks for the wisdom!

muted maple
#

Looks like you got it figured out

bronze echo
#

Only with your help.

muted maple
#

You were on the right track

#

That double connection thing took us a while to figure out

#

And renaming the computer was the only thing we found to fix it 🤣

bronze echo
#

Hah, I can only imagine. I'm glad you could figure it out at all!

#

Have a great rest of your day! I know your time was short; I won't distract you longer. Have a good time!
