Need help for Gencon! Please help!
I am trying to run Fantasy grounds with no internet. I have a router and two laptops. When I start the GM machine and load in Lan mode and go to /info I see two IPs 127.0.0.1:1802 and 192.168.127.1
On the player machine I have tried both IPs and neither works. How do I connect the player machine? THank you!

You posted in the FG Classic house of healing, but I think you're using FG Unity so I've move this post.
You need to make sure that the player laptop can ping the GM laptop on 192.168.127.1. Open a command prompt and type ping 192.168.127.1 If this doesn't connect, check what IP address the player laptop has been assigned - it should be 192.168.127.XX. If it's not in that range, then you're not assigning an IP address in the correct range - try assigning a static IP address in that format.Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

ok thanks, as an update, I got the ip to connect on the gaming machine, but now it says that I have unauthorized copy on my host machine. BTW my host machine is running Windows 7. I run in cloud mode all the time.
Any suggestions?

Throw your phone into hotspot for the startup and it can ping the server through your phone. You can then turn hotspot off once everyone is connected.

This will not work for 99% of people.
You connect to your hotspot and you disconnect from the WLAN.
In terms of the Convention WiFi it probably has Wireless isolation enabled.
That will also be an issue.
You might need a decent sized battery and run all your computers of the Hotspot.

Interesting followup in that I did eventually get wifi there but strangely it was actually worse than tethering to a phone as a hotspot, it kept kicking out of FG from the player side and eventually would not connect at all. I ended going old school and just turning my extra monitor to the players every so often to show the map.
