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 -standalone option. Currently, standalone servers do not work properly on FS2_Open.
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
