To do this, follow the instructions at Dedicated server > Joining your own dedicated server. If you are hosting a netgame of your own, it is possible to join your own server on the same computer via another instance of SRB2. If no IP address is given, SRB2 will search for a server on the local network and connect to the first server found. If an IP address is specified after this, SRB2 will automatically connect to a netgame with the given IP address on startup. Option c) Launch the game with the -connect command line parameter. However, this command also allows you to apply other options such as the port to connect to (if the server is hosted on a non-standard port) – see Console/Commands > connect for more information. Option b) The console command connect can be used in a similar way to the "Join Game (IP Address)" option above – to join a netgame, type connect into the console. This is commonly used for joining private netgames that are not advertised on the Master Server, though it can be used to join servers that are listed on the Master Server as well.
Type in the IP address of the person hosting the game you want to join and then press Enter. Option a) Go to the Multiplayer menu, and hover over the "Specify IPV4 Address" option. Select the server you want to join and press Enter, and the game will attempt to join. Servers hosted on the local network will always be listed. Select one of these rooms to display the available servers hosted through the selected room, or "All" to display all servers for all rooms on the Master Server.

Go to the Multiplayer menu, and click on the "Server Browser" option to go to a separate screen displaying the full list of rooms on the Master Server (as well as their descriptions).
Up to 32 players maximum can be in a netgame, though it is very rare for a netgame to have this many players present. The server can either be advertised publicly on the SRB2 Master Server (see the section below) or, if the netgame is intended to be private, the other players can join by specifying the IP address of the host. One player hosts a server on their computer and other people join the game by connecting to the server from their own computers.
Networked games, often shortened to netgames, are games that are played over a local network or the Internet. A screenshot of a multiplayer CTF netgame.
