Allthough I do not fly online I can tell you that you need to down load a small program that allows you to logon VATSIM is just one. I think that the help file in fs may give you some help as well.
If you look through some of the posts here you will find one on multiplayer that should shed some light on the subject 8)

Flying multiplayer flights could not possibly be any easier.

There are several methods, all of which I'll mention, but the last one is my personal favorite (and thus my recommendation to you).

1. The Zone. It sucks, but if you go to www.zone.com you'll be able to fly online.

2. IP Flights. Using your computer as a host, you tell people your IP (which you can find out from ipchicken.com) and have them enter your IP as the IP to join. Not a bad option if you have a few friends you'd like to fly with.

3. Live ATC. This is, without doubt, the best way to go, IMHO. Nothing beats the reality of talking to an air traffic controller as you fly. Check out my favorite, www.westcoastatc.com, or take a peek at VATSIM.net, eSkyworld.com or IVAO.org. All decent options.

You don't have to download a program to host a multiplayer session. FSHost will let you do something, but to be honest I've never used it, so I'm not sure what.

If you go with westcoastatc.com, all you'll have to download is TeamSpeak, a voice client which will let you talk to your controllers and vice versa.

Get comfortable!

Dowl load a program called F.S. Host Spy which will allow you to see all the servers online. It can be found at: http://www.chocolatesoftware.com/fshostspy/

Not strictly true, it will show you servers online that use FSHost i.e. if I myselff or Joe Bloggs hosts a small multiplayer game. It does not however show the larger ATC servers as mentioned above by Hyperion
