    Yes and no. You can host it, and your buddies will be able to connect and frag\raid together, but you may notice some decreased performance due the the ventrilo using cpu power and network bandwidth. The downside is that unless you have paid specially for a static IP address. Your ip will change ever so often, meaning you have to give out the server ip again. You will also need to port forward. This is not hard, google ventrilo port forward tutorial.

    Yes, but not if there are more then about 5 stations in your net. (This would exclude printers, scanners, and other input/output devices.) Please remember that you will probably have to pay more for your anti virus.
