For A Dedicated Server here is a little blurb to start one up.
1) First you need to create a COD2 Config File which I have one listed below, copy and paste all of this into a Notepad or a Word document, Only edit the things inside the " " and make it to whatever you want it to be.

2) After you did all of that, name the Notepad or word document "dedicated.cfg" This is so then it is recongized as a COD2 server.
3) Now, Place this config inside your COD2 main folder (My Computer/C: Drive/Program Files/Activision/Call of Duty 2/main)
4) Once it is located inside your main COD2 folder... Create a shortcut on your desktop of a COD2_MP game icon.
5) Once the shortcut is on your desktop, right click it, and click on properties. You now need to find the box that says "Target Line". Erase all of that and put it as "C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 2\CoD2MP_s.exe" +set net_ip 00.00.00.00 +set net_port 28960 +set fs_game main +set dedicated 2 +exec oclan2.cfg +map_rotate with the part that says +set net_ip 00.00.00.00 you must either delete it or put it in as your IP address so then the server can be played off your computer.
6) Now your almost done with the creation of your very own COD2 server. Depending on your connection speed the max amount of players will very (maxclients). If you have a good upload 200+ then you can have a stable server with around 10-12 people. Anything less then 200+ upload should be a max of 8.
7) With that shortcut you made on your desktop... Double click it and you should see that your server is now in operation. Go into COD2 with a different COD2 game icon (Start Menu) and you should see that your server is on the Internet and Local Listings.
***IMPORTANT***
Please make sure your firewall settings are open to the port 28960. Do this by (Control Panel/Windows Firewall/Exeptions) This may differ to what firewall you have running. If you dont have windows firewall you need to get into your firewall settings and make a exeption. When your there u need to make a PORT. To do this click "Add Port" and name it "Port" then you simply type in the port number and Click it as UDP.
Again bare in mind that this is for a
Dedicated server only. If you plan on running a server and playing at the same time (Not Recommended) try the method below.
For A Listen Server
This runs on one of the computers of you or your friends. No one other than you and your friends can connect unless they know your IP #. This Listen server will not show up on any of the lists since it is a private server. There are several steps to get this up and running and they are fairly simple.
First, right click on your multiplayer icon on your desktop and send it to the desktop thereby creating a third icon, or a second for multiplay. You may want to rename this to something like "MODSonline.com Listen Server". Then right click the new icon and and click Properties and on the target line, put in the following in the target line:
"C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 2\CoD2MP_s.exe" +exec modsonlinecod2config.cfg +map_rotate
Next create a config file in a word processor (this one was created in wordpad) and name it "modsonlinecod2config.cfg" and save it. You can just copy the one below and save it on your word processor. Then copy the new config file into the main folder of your game (Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 2\main). You may name it whatever you want, but if you use a different name, make sure you use that same name in the target line (+exec modsonlinecod2config.cfg). When you double click on your new icon, the game will immediately start in the first map.
Have those who want to play with you go into their multiplayer game via the icon that came with the game, not one like you created. Have them join game and as soon as that opens, use the ` (tilde key) just to the left of the 1 key. A drop down line will appear and type in "Connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" and hit enter. The xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx represents your IP #. They should connect in a matter of seconds to your computer and you can begin play.
A note on the config below. The time for the game should be changed to suit your needs. I have it set for "2" for testing purposes only. This is two minutes. You can change this in your file to 10, 15, 20 or whatever you want. If you do not put this in, it will default to the games standard 30 minutes.
We don't use a password, so I left this blank, but left it in the config file.
When the time ends, a score chart appears and shortly the next map will load. If you don't want to play DeathMatch, you can find the other map rotations on this site.

That's pretty much another method that you can use. You can grab any maps that you like and replace the list above to suit your needs.
Or... you just go through your game shortcuts for Multiplayer CoD2. It's the quickest and easiest.
Hope it helps out.
Cheers
