The "localhost" address is a special address which always refers to the local host - ie: the user's own system. You need to give your friends your correct IP address and enable incoming http connections, if required.
well you gotta give us more than that. are your friends trying http://YOUR_IP_ADDRESS ??? you can get your IP from http://www.whatismyip.com . Also, if you are behind a router you have to configure the router to send port 80 (which is the default webserver port) to your computer.
Well, my website is: Mirpg.no-ip.info
(It is correctly configured to my ip address)
and yes i have given them my address and it doesn't work for them.
I am behind no router.
well if you can see it just find and its running on your computer then your situation is probably going to be due to a firewall. Disable all firewalls and see if that works, if it does then configure your firewall accordingly.

Type your IP into your browser from the computer your running the web server on and see if works for you. If it doesn't then post the error message. If it does, then maybe your IP has changed recently or you haven't configured your firewall corectly. There really isn't enough information here to answer your question.
