Well, for starters I notice your IP address in the Network Beacon setup is your internal LAN IP when it should be your external IP.
Go to http://www.whatismyip.com/ and enter the IP address returned into the IP Address field in the Network Beacon setup.

I'm honestly not sure what URL you would need to give your friends. If they are running iTunes you could have them try-
Advanced -> Open Stream...
then enter your external IP address and see if that works.
I've never done this myself, so I really have no clue.
Hope you get it sorted. Cheers
