My connection issues reappeared again last night, trying to connect to my usual Thursday night session I could not load the server list, could not even get Connection Info to discover my external IP (eventual timeouts). These are the same exact symptoms as before. I rebooted, restarted router, even ...

Today I did a more careful shut down of all wired in devices including my daughter's computer and the router, and then brought them all up in the appropriate order, giving each device time to get its crap together and settle down, and that seems to have worked. My MT now displays Connection Info cor...

Yes, the same issues and symptoms exactly. No servers listed in Maptool's list, unable to refresh that list (it times out eventually), and when I attempt Connection Info, it lists the Internal IP but the External IP lists "Discovering..." for some time and then times out without result. So...

As requested I ran a pingtest, and it rated my connection Grade A+ the entire time to its own set of test servers all over the globe, 3-4 times in a row before it automatically quit testing. I did not see a way to input my friend's IP address to test that but it definitely proves my connection is no...

Reminder, I am a client, not a host/GM. Port Forwarding is not necessary for me. The previous time this happened resolved when I created a clean user profile and installed a fresh copy of Maptool there, which magically fixed the original copy of Maptool in my usual main user profile. I have not atte...

This occurred again last night, Maptool suddenly got stupid and could not find a way to connect to anything. The server list would not load / refresh, and the Connection Information dialog times out unable to discover the external IP. Nothing at all has changed since last week when it worked fine. I...

Yes, it was my only user profile prior to this test. It wasn't working, and now it is. I did get my GM to put up his server in order to test it and I was able to connect to it remotely as usual, so the issue appears to be corrected, at least for now... I wish I could guess what could have happened a...

Maptool is version 1.7.0 I am using AVG's free antivirus program, though it is currently in passive mode to remove its interference. I took your advice and created a clean test windows user account and installed Maptool and it DID work to resolve the apparent connection issues. I was able to run the...

I did read that post, thank you, unfortunately it is more geared for the server owner/GM trying to get someone to connect to their server than to a client. My GM has his server configured correctly, the five other players are able to connect to it without problem, so it must be on my end. I will rea...

As I said, I did not alter Windows in any way during this time. Are you suggesting that I reinstall Maptool or Java? or both? I am able to connect to many other locations using the web browsers, even tried two different ones, and my email client, it's JUST Maptool that's giving me trouble. I do not ...

No, I have Frontier DSL internet. The 'discovering...' on the External Address line does eventually timeout as 'unknown'. Nothing has changed in the past two days, same results. I have another session next Thursday, hoping for some assistance before then

I have been using Maptool for several years now and have been happy with it, so thank you to the devs. I have, however, recently run into a problem connecting to my GM's server remotely, where I have been able to do so for some time without issue. Last night my maptool could not discover connection ...
