Port check?

I'd like to see a "Check port" button in the FAF client "Network Settings" menu so ppl. can easily verify their setup is correct. How about it?

The lobby actually does a UDP test when you launch it, it will tell you if you were unable to receive packets on your chosen gameport at launch.

The test is a bit flawed however, and we're looking to fix this in an update very soon. More information to come on this.
