Montage animations don't display or update(Multiplayer)

My regular animations(running, jumping) work however the montages I setup(attack,death) do not display or update. The characters are still changing states however, so the game logic is correct enough to play lol.

I am using a simple command line to host/join games until I program something more robust. I setup port-forward on the machine hosting and used the routers address and appropriate port to forward to the hosting machine, from the client. This is a head scratcher for me for sure. Thanks for any and all information on this!

warm regards,
Justin
