You can direct connect with people (doesn't always work, but it's worth a shot). To do this, you & they should have chat enabled (tools > options > chat. Tick enable chat & apply).

Go to the LW search page & click on direct connect (below keyword). You should see an IP address there. That's what your friends have to enter into their comp. If you can't see an IP there, you can go to
http://whatismyip.com/
& you can find your IP there.

Here's some info on using direct connect
