fs2.net is not as reliable as PXO was, in that its server is not dedicated.  The status of multiplayer is a bit hazy right now anyway.  Try it, and if it doesn't work go see if you can figure out, based on recent posts about it, why it doesn't work.  And to reiterate what has already been said, PLEASE keep all of the basic questions in the same thread.  This type of thing makes the forum a bit cluttered.

EDIT: If you just want to play LAN, you should be able to just play LAN.  That should be available under the Multi options screen.

Threads merged.  A warning to Retro: Don't keep posting new threads with different problems.  It's annoying to clean them up. :p

What OS are you using?

Operating System. Examples would be Windows XP, Windows 98, Windows ME, etc.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

That might be the problem.  Compatability mode messes with things (like networking) in an adverse way at times.  Try turning it off to see if it works.  It's obviously not a solution, but you can at least take that and start looking into FSO.

If you're posting from that computer, then TCP is enabled.  Thus Goob's question.  You should be able to enter the target IP address in the IP address field to get a lan game going, I think.

PXO is not LAN.  PXO is the (now defunct) matching service that Volition used to run.  You can't do anything with PXO now.

LAN is Local Area Network, you need at least two computers connected.

I already announced my retirement twice, yet here I am. If I bring up that topic again, don't believe a word.

Are you sure the host hosted the game well? Can your computers in the network detect each other in Windows?
