My guess...

You have the server address entered wrong. Your computer is unable to contact the server. Print screen the multiplayer screen where the address is entered and post it here.

Aha I just fixed this today for me, well it wasnt a fix but it works so I can play online. On the MX sim website just go to servers, where all the recent races were. And beside them there will me a connect to this server button. In blue. And that works everytime for me :)

for your own server if your computers hosting it have the ip as 127.0.0.1 and unless you open your port you and your friends will need hamachi

I know ita an old post, but when that happens to me i press control alt delete and when it goes back to my desktop theres a security pop up asking me if i want to allow mx sim access or not and i click yes and it works, there you go.

Well maybe you didn't drag and drop the server args into the run server and enter your UID?
