#Local Connections worked for me

Alright, so here's out thread 🙂
Have you tried to setup port forwarding yet at all, or is this a fresh installation?
mild basalt
Port forwarding should alr be enabled for me, I've done sessions with local and outside connections before this week.
main abyss
Gotcha! Alright, so let's just double check things then.
First up, return to setup in Foundry and go to the Configuration tab. Let's make sure Enable UPnP is disabled
main abyss
Yup, perfect!
Next let's make sure that port forwarding rule is good.
Post the local network link from within Foundry (that would be one starting with 192.168, or 10, or 172.16 etc) - those are safe to share as they are meaningless outside of your network.
Then post a screenshot of your port forwarding rule.
main abyss
Yup!
main abyss
You would need to login to your router and pull up the rule there 🙂
mild basalt
Ah.
main abyss
On a guess your router is likely at http://10.0.0.1
(unless you're using Comcast/xfinity, in which case... they make things fun and you likely have to use their mobile app)
mild basalt
Yeah I'm Xfinity, but that link works. Its allll coming back to me.
main abyss
Ok; if your router lets you modify port forwarding via the web interface despite being xfinity then awesome! Otherwise... you'll have to go the mobile app
mild basalt
Cool so then I enable the
main abyss
Most likely what has happened is your router gave your computer a new IP address, and your port forwarding rule needs to get refreshed
mild basalt
Ah crap
main abyss
Yeeeeah
mild basalt
Do I enable the port that matches the Foundry one?
main abyss
Yup, port 30000 needs to be a valid service
mild basalt
Cool. I'm gonna testy.
main abyss
And there needs to be a port forward rule that associates that service with your computer
mild basalt
It works!
main abyss
🎉
main abyss
I would recommend looking into the app and seeing about setting up a DHCP reservation
That way the router won't change your IP address again in the future
mild basalt
Ah, cool cool. I'll look into that.
main abyss
Awesome sauce, glad you're up and going! Happy gaming!
