Any DirectPlay Tutorials?

The manuals really didn't explain DirectPlay very well to me. I have looked at code snippets and so on to try to understand, but find it all a bit confusing.

I sort of get the idea that for all my online players to JoinNetGame there would have to be another computer online running a bit of code that has started with StartNetGame or HostNetGame, but if this is not on a fixed server, how will others find it?
What's the difference between Local, Private, Hosted and Public IP's?

Been searching for tutorials but have found very little.
Any help would be much appreciated.
