Who ever is creating a player host, will need to forward some ports so in-game player host show up in the server list:

PORT FORWARDING
Forwarding correct ports is an absolutely requirement for hosting a multiplayer game. If you have created a server yet there are no players joining it, chances are your router or firewall is incorrectly configured. In order to host multiplayer games over Steam your network must be configured to allow Steam access to the following ports:

UDP 27015
UDP 27016
UDP 33540
TCP 27015

After having been set up, your port configuration should look like this:

The local IP needs be that of the computer acting as a host. You can find out the local IP by invoking a command prompt (press Windows + R, type "cmd" and press Enter), typing "ipconfig" and pressing Enter again. You'll see a bunch of information, but the line you want to look for is "IPv4 Address" - the number at the end of that line is your local IP address.

Also make sure that your firewall is configured to allow inbound and outbound communication of the server/game executable. Many office networks and proxies block required ports for Steam operation – please consult your network administrator to ensure the required ports are open if you are using an office network or a proxy.
