I am not a server sort of a guy (like nedd3h et al) but here goes...

Connect direct IP? yes I think so, make certain firewalls are not in the way and the ports are free.

When you host, it should print to the console your local, then internet IPs and before that your socket port number (e.g. Opening IP socket: localhost:27960). There must be a console command too I expect. You can always test it by running a client on the same machine but connect by the internet not the LAN setting.

It is better they have already downloaded the maps. Your average internet connection is seriously limited in the up-speed so you may not want to enable map downloads.
