To confirm that it's working, you can go to the multiplayer map at http://mpmap02.flightgear.org/ (in Hong Kong). Once FlightGear has started, you will notice chat messages that say "Hello" indicating pilots that are online and then as they join (you can change this message by editing the <code><chat type="string">Hello</chat></code> line in <tt>''[[$FG_ROOT]]/preferences.xml''</tt>). You may wish to use a different server, especially one closer to you.

For more advanced settings, the <tt>Advanced > Network</tt> tab in FGRun can be opened. You are able to remove the in or out lines only through this method for example.
