Eh?
If you have managed to get a dedicated server up, then you would:
A) Type /connect 123.456.789.***
B) Make sure you have a master server. seta sv_master1 "dpmaster.deathmask.net" in your config.
C) Read this handy guide.

If it's not a dedicated server you are trying to create, then:
A) Start it through the 'multiplayer' menu
B) Make sure that 'dedicated' is set to NO or LAN.
C) Click on fight Smiley

If your server is running on your local net (hub/switch/whatever), a local client will still be able to find it locally. So, that is not a problem.

In order for it to show up in the master server list, you have to make sure that

You will also need to make sure that you have your server port forwarded in your router configuration.

Are you trying to set up the server on the same computer as you are playing on?
There are sources saying that it's not possible to make a dedicated server, and then play on the same machine, connecting to you server.
Of course here are ways around it (no rules without exceptions), but it's not easy nor advisable.

If you are setting up your server on another computer, then make sure that you set either dedicated 1 (for LAN/Internal Networks) or dedicated 2 (for public server). In your servers configuration file you can enter: set sv_snaps "40" to ensure large amounts of data is being sent out as snapshots and then make sure that the connection between your server and computer is working before connecting.

It might help to use the console and type /connect [servers-ip] [servers-port]
For example: /connect 123.321.123.321:27960

If you want to run it as a purely dedicated server, then you would be advised to use .bat files under Windows or .sh scripts under Linux.
