I can't get chaining to work. Is there something wrong with the server?

I've turned off my Firewall and I still cannot connect.

If you are trying to chain two simulations on your own computer (The same computer) then there's no server involved.

Are you actually asking about issues with port forwarding and people not being able to connect to sessions you are hosting?

I've got the Mega chain set up and running but it's not allowing anyone to connect.

I've been checking the Port forwarding by trying to connect over the net but I can't connect and neither can anyone else

So you can chain the simulations together fine; that means there won't be anything wrong with chaining; but evidently is with your port forwarding set up.

Usual culprits that can surface from time to time and "break" an existing port forwarding set up:-

Windows and other Firewalls
Change of local IP
Change of router settings

I'd recommend starting to look through those to diagnose your issue.

Thanks. Sorted. Router was the issue.
