How on earth can we join any SS08 MP server when we even don't know its IP adress? If you want to run a public SS08 MP server, please specify your external IP adress here, or on the Notice Board at http://forum.shipsim.com/index.php/topic,15480.0.html (http://forum.shipsim.com/index.php/topic,15480.0.html). section. See attached document 'Shipsim user server.pdf' with instructions about setting-up any public SS08 MP server correctly. Go to https://www.whatismyip.com/ (https://www.whatismyip.com/) to discover your real external IP adress on which other players can connect to.
