The game offers multiple ways to play online with your friends. The InsideEARTH community uses community-hosted EarthNet server, and it is the recommended and most reliable way to play the game online. All available options are:
For some reasons you may be not able to use ''EarthNet'' to play online. In this case there are several other ways to host a multiplayer game. It's up to you and your target friend you want to play with. Every presented solution below creates a temporary virtual local network with other users:
* '''[[E2150_-_EarthNet_-_InsideEARTH|EarthNet - InsideEARTH]]''' - community version of EarthNet server, recommended way to play multiplayer
* '''EarthNet''' (default for the IE community)
* '''Official EarthNet''' - mostly offline/down
* '''GameRanger''' (backup for the IE community)
* '''VPN Services''' - such as GameRanger, Hamachi or Radmin
* '''Hamachi'''
* '''Direct IP''' - TCP/IP connection, requires public IP and port forwarding
* '''Radmin'''
 
You don't need to set up every listed multiplayer gaming environment, just pick one the most suited for you (maybe your friend already uses one of them for different games). If you wish to play with IEO community I recommend installing ''Gameranger'', but if you prepare other options now, you will be ready to play with anyone.
In case you cannot play for whatever reasons on EarthNet, it is best to pick some VPN service, such as GameRanger - however, you will not be able to play with people who use EarthNet, so this solution is viable only in case you want to play some private games with your friends or family. You don't need to set up every listed multiplayer gaming environment, just pick one the most suited for you (maybe your friend already uses one of them for different games).
 
== EarthNet ==
EarthNet is a Multiplayer lobby built into the game and can be accessed via the Multiplayer menu option. Since the official EarthNet is mostly offline and isn't maintained, howevervirtually all online games are being played on community EarthNet. '''This is the recommended way to play online'''. In order to start using community EarthNet, there are some additional steps required, these can be found [[E2150_-_EarthNet_-_InsideEARTH#How_to_Connect|here]].
