chrisdmadd 261 posts	A quick search on google will tell you how to port forward on that hub. You need to open ports 50505 50507 50509 TCP and UDP i always do. Then run a game as a server (enabled in the loader after the sim and timetable has been selected) choose port 50505 in the loader. Once the game is up you can head to https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and check that it says port 50505 is open. Log in to reply
