Open VBA-M in two windows

Do this on both windows





On the Player 1 window,
Options > Link >  Start Network Link

Allow the program on the firewall so that it can run the virtual server instance. Do not worry, it is local

If connection is successful, message will appear





 Options > Input > Configure
