I let the installer configure the firewall, then I made some manual rules to the firewall to make sure. Also opened TCP 2010 as suggested in another thread. 

This exact tablet and install has been used to connect to and play on a friend's server running 2.1.x in the past. 

Setup is a Windows 8.1 machine wired to router. Tablet is on the wireless network of said router and all other functions are normal. 

Start game on PC, start server. Start game on tablet, start client. Put in IP address and press connect, fails to connect. 

Any ideas or suggestions?

Is the Nexus online on UMTS?
Handy sometimes prefer UMTS for WIFI.
So please set UMTS off and check the WIFI IP of the Nexus.

And the IP is a good one? like 192.168.x.x and not 169.254.x.x ?

( For clearing the first address is a DHCP assign t address in a class C net, typical for home networks. The second one is a self assign t address if DHCP not correct work )

IP for server is 192.168.59.1. 

IP of the tablet is 192.168.2.6 so yup, good there as well.

Some things to check
1) Verify it's actually listening on 2010 (the networkPort can be configured in artemis.ini so if you changed it to something other than 2010 that would be a problem).  One way to verify is to run "netstat -nao | findstr 2010" and verify you see a line like this:
  TCP    0.0.0.0:2010           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       1304
where instead of 1304 you should see whatever the PID (process ID) is of your Artemis server instance.

2) Check which firewall profile is active.  One way to do this is from the Control Panel, just searching for "Windows Firewall" will take you there.   It should tell you that either "Guest or public networks" or "Private networks" or "Domain networks" are connected.  Usually the right one for playing artemis is "Private" (although technically it just has to be consistent with the #3 below).  A common problem would be where it's open in the firewall for one profile, and a different one is active.

3) Check which profiles are allowed for Artemis.  Do this through "Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall" and look for the entry for "artemis".  Verify that the checkbox is checked for whatever firewall profile is active in step 2.

If the relevant checkbox isn't checked, you can either change the checkbox to be checked (usually the right thing if Private isn't checked), or you can change the active profile on your network adapter (usually the right thing if the active one is Public).  One simple way to do the latter is from the "HomeGroup" part of the control panel, which works even if you're not using homegroup.

Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0

netstat returns TCP  0.0.0.0:2010   0.0.0.0:0   LISTENING   368

Firewall settings double checked and verified.

I think you should change the mask to 255.255.0.0.

Whether you should change the mask or not depends on the topology.  All devices on the same subnet should have the same prefix (including prefix length or mask).  Here if the mask is 255.255.255.0 it indicates they're not on the same subnet.   That might or might not be right.   If they're both supposed to be on the same link, then the mask should be 255.255.0.0 on both machines as well as the router.   If they're on different links, the mask might be correct as is, but there may be some other connectivity problem between the two links.   We'd need to know more about the network topology to be sure, since wireless routers support both modes (wired and wireless on same subnet or on different subnets).   You can try pinging each IP address from the other one to see if you get responses (if you do, then Artemis ought to work since you verified the firewall settings).   If that doesn't work, you can try a traceroute ("tracert -d 192.168.59.1" from the tablet) and see what that gives you.  Your config would be correct if it showed you (say) 2 hops, both giving responses.   Chances are, one of the above things won't work since Artemis isn't connecting, and seeing what works and what doesn't will help narrow down the problem.

Thanks, that explains exactly what's going on.  Your server has two interfaces with different addresses on different subnets.   It is both 192.168.2.32 on the same network as the Nexus, as well as 192.168.56.1 on the "VirtualBox Host-Only Network" which isn't connected to anything. 
So when you ping the Nexus from the server, it's using 192.168.2.32 and works fine.  If you tried pinging the Nexus from 192.168.56.1 ("ping -S 192.168.56.1 192.168.2.28") it would fail just like trying to ping 192.168.56.1 from the Nexus fails.  That's because 192.168.56.1 has no connectivity to the rest of that network (you'll notice there's no default gateway on the VirtualBox interface).

This should work fine if you try to instead connect to 192.168.2.32 from the Nexus.  Artemis acting as a server actually listens on all IP addresses (that's the 0.0.0.0 in the netstat output you verified).  The problem is that the Artemis server UI just displays one IP address of the machine and isn't smart enough to pick the right one here.  But that's just a display issue.  Tec made the same point in another thread and he's exactly right.   So for your topology you should ignore what the Artemis UI displays and use the address on the Ethernet interface of your server: 192.168.2.32 according to the output you sent.

Wow, it seems so obvious once you point it out. [biggrin]

Thanks a bunch for the help. It indeed connected right up once I told it to use .2.32 and I was flying past DS1 at warp bajillion by accident right away. 

I'll dedicate our maiden flight to you. 

Thanks Tec as well for the assist.
