==FS2NetD - SCP Multiplayer==
FS2NetD is an online FS2 game tracker.  It acts as a lobby for multiplayer games, and it tracks registered pilots and mission statistics.  When PXO is slated to be back online in 2007, FS2NetD will go away.

==Multiplay over TCP/IP==
FreeSpace 2 can also be played by connecting directly to a hosting game via their i.p. address.

==Standalone Servers==
A dedicated/standalone FreeSpace2 server can be run on the Windows platform.  This is enabled with the [[Command-Line_Reference#-standalone|-standalone]] option.

Some options for the standalone server can be specified in the multi.cfg file located in your FreeSpace2\data\ directory.  For example, this simple multi.cfg file gives a default game name for a standalone server of "Nova Cafe":
 +name          Nova Cafe
