Hi 
A quirk of the server and software; if a game is in progress, no one can join. This may be a good thing, from what I have read about online sims that have that capability ( host freezes, locks, etc. ).What we have to do is go to the lobby and wait until players begin to return, or new players show up, then wait for someone to host. When a game appears in the box in the upper left corner, click on that game name, then click on join, then prepare to read the icons on your desktop!! ( I am kidding!!! Well, a little bit, hehe...you will find out when it happens; until then, you will see a lot of players going ' CTD'd, grrrr '. )
One thing to prepare; check your sdemons.ini file for a line "NetMaxPlayers=16" or something similar - I cannot remember the exact syntax ( SDOE Control makes it easy ). The sim defaults to 8 player; if you try to enter/join a game with 8 or more players, you will get a message " Unable To Join Game" and possibly even a CTD or lockup.
Hope I remembered all that correctly; been a while since I tried to explain it. Hope it helps.
