you have to use a dns program like uhhhhh http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/ to convert your ip to a dns aname they can connect to

If he's running his on pool, which I doubt he is.

If you want them to mine with you on your deepbit account or something, simply setup workers for them, and they can use that to connect.

If not, and you ARE running your own pool, you have to portforward port 8332 and 8333(?) to the host that's running the pool, then give your friends your external address.

If your machine running bitcoin has a static, public IP address then your friends simply need to point their miners to that IP address and you need to run bitcoin in server mode with a properly set bitcoin.conf.

More than likely your bitcoin machine is behind a NAT router so you need to port forward 8332 to your bitcoin machine then have your friends point to your public IP address (or dyndns hostname) port 8332.

You need to set up a bitcoin.conf. See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin for details.

Specifically you will want to set server=1, rpcuser, rpcpassword, rpcallowip.
