This is the message I always get I've tried everything and nothing is working.
This is very frustrating.
My ports are open and firewall is formatted but it cannot connect to the Master Server
I can connect to it through my browser but FSHost cannot.

ANY SUGGESTIONS

hi Dok455

It´s because you have to have port 80 open and free for the FSHost.. If you are using port 80 for a webserver or so, you
can change the port number in FSHost ..
You also have to open the port you use in your Router and Firewall !!

  I have my Port open and I have configured my router. I have even tryed changing ports still it cannot connect. it's like it isn't accessing the Web to search for the master.

and everything is configure to allow it too

this is very confussing
