A network match making system and method is used to match users of a multi-user networked application. Each user is associated with a client computer connected to the network. Clients are selected based on attributes of their users, the clients, servers, and/or communication links. The network match maker works with three different forms of network applications: peer-to-peer, multiple clients to a single server, and multiple clients to multiple servers. In one match maker method, remote server computers and client computers are matched. A match maker receives a plurality of client requests and a plurality of server requests. At least two instances of client programs and at least one instance of server programs are selected based on client and server attributes.
