To help you out, the people on this board need a few answers from you...
-What OS are you using? -What are your firewall settings? -What updates and patches of Hardwar do yu all have?
Answer these questions, plus maybe a few more, and the community can help you a bit more.

I've found that most of the problems end up being with Windows Defender. I'd try disabling Windows Defender, Firewall, etc. along with all other security and trying to connect. That will at least tell you if it's a security problem or not.
If it is, you just have to set up your firewall or whatever to allow the game's executable to execute. If you still can't connect the problem can be several things, but I'd check the port and making sure everyone is using the same patch version - they are not compatible.

so instead of maken more ships, items ect... wouldnt it be better to work on an easier connection solution.
or to make it not require much work or frustration in connecting to someone elses game
also can i have a link to posted ip addresses with running servers?
