You can join a session by browsing public Netplay sessions or going to 'Start Netplay Session' to get to the page where you can join sessions.Depending on your router, you may not even need to port forward when using the traversal server. Both will have the same latency, however using the traversal server allows you to use a host code instead of your IP Address.
