Joining a server or match
To join a server you need
to know the server IP address. >>>SEE
HERE<<<
Once you have the IP you
need to enter it into fishsim.
Open Fishsim normally but
select "online"
> "server"
Enter the IP you noted earlier (you will need to use "Backspace" to
remove any numbers already there).
Click "close"
> "connect"
To enter a match you will
need to know the Venue & have it installed. It's a good
idea to also note the Peg, Date & Time so you can first
practice the match. Don't forget to check out the rules
too.
Once you're ready you can join the match as above.
Once you've fished the match for the time allowed the
server will tell you "Your Time is up & any more fish
you catch will be nabbed by the Bayliff". |

Running a server or match
To run a match you need
to know a few technical facts.......
First of all you'll
need to set up a "port forward" so your router allows
incoming connections to enter the PC running the server.
To set this up, I use a small program called Simple
Port Forward although
this can be easily done by entering the "Advanced
Settings" to set the port forward manually. Click
the image below. At
this point I need to mention the IP address. You need to
know the individual IP of the PC running the server &
make sure this is reserved as each time to PC connects
to the router it'll be allocated it's own IP. Click
the image below. Note
the number after the / "24" as
this is the machine ID & will need to be reserved.
Once these have been set
you must restart your router.

Now that you have
the port forward set up it's time to look at the
server.ini file.
