Have a read of the Multiplayer section of the Wiki, which explains how to set the simulation up and Port Forwarding, which is required if you're connected to the internet via a router. If you've never played Multiplayer before, I'd recommend joining a few sessions first, so you're aware of how they're run and what the host's duties are.

If so, where would I find the port number? And, would this be the same for the Interface Gateway? Thank you in advance. Log in to reply |

Trent in post 93672 said:1) Yes you would, the port number you pick is up to you, but you need to have set your router up to forward that port. 2) You don't need to run an interface gateway.
