That link will tell you what you need to know. If you're going to run the server on your spare pc, I suggest you make it a "dedicated" server. Your bandwidth will limit the number of players who can connect before everyone starts lagging. If you begin to notice everyones pings going real high, then you need to reduce the number of players that can connect. Also, if you use a router you will need to check the router's manual to learn how to open a port (27960) so that people can see your server. Good luck. 8)
