When the win7 computer connected to the network (I'm assuming they're all on the local network and the guy with the win7 machine isn't using a wireless connection that is separate to your home one) make sure you select home, rather than public.
Public will make the computer hide itself from everything.
If your friends computer is connecting to your broadwave then the windows firewall won't be a problem.
(some 3rd party firewalls may cause issues though).
Below is a general setup guide for users to access broadwave when they are NOT on the local network. eg: your at your house and your friend is sitting at their house.
If you don't have a website, users can connect directly to your pc accross the web using your public IP address followed by the port number you have broadwave running on.
Then In your internet router/modem configuration, forward the port that broadwave is running on (default 88), to the computer (computers local IP address) running broadcam. (to find your computers local IP address, click start -> run -> type cmd then hit ok.
Now type ipconfig and push enter and it will list the computers local Ip address)
Then they can click on the link for the stream they wish to listen too.
Very good explanation but how do you get the live stream to actually connect and in lower right corner say it is connected or 1 connection. when you press connect I get the mumbo jumbo web page stuff and when I pick an item
it wants me to save my own live stream?
For information on how to forward port 88 in your router, please see http://portforward.com
