How do you host your own netgame?
To host a netgame, go to Multiplayer, and click on “Host Server”. Set a server name, gametype, and select a stage to start on. To host a public server on the Master Server, select the “Room” option to change it from “<Offline Mode>” to whatever room best fits what sort of modes you wish to play. When you’re ready to host, select “Start”.
If you have a router and nobody can join your game, it’s likely you need to forward ports on your router. SRB2 requires port number 5029 (UDP) to be open for your game to show up in SRB2 and the MS Launcher. In order to fix this you will need to set your computer to use a static IP address, and then you need to forward the ports from the router to the computer you are hosting from. These resources can help you in this process:

If you have a firewall and nobody can join your game, you’ll likely need to whitelist SRB2 so it can access the internet.
Where can you set up your own netgame?
There are several ways to set up netgames.
Join or host a game on the master server. This is by far the most effective option, since anyone playing SRB2 will be able to see your server on the listing and join it right from the in-game menu.
Set up a game with your friends.
