Try these steps :

ok... the way to play interceptor in the net is:
the host:
1) get the your ip address.
2) load up interceptor
3) goeth into the multiplayer bit.
4) in the comms set up screen select tcp and enter the host's ip address in the ip address box.
5) go from there setting up the multiplayer game (select ship, go host a game, etc.)

note: once the host starts hosting, they should not alt-tab out/minimise/exit, or anything else like that otherwise the program will stop hosting and noone will be able to connect.

the people who are joining:
1) get the host's ip address
2) load up interceptor
3) wait a bit for the host to be hosting
4) go into the multiplayer bit
5) comms set up screen: enter the hosts ip, set mode to tcp.
6) switch the toggle switch to join.
7) voila
