Hey Silkie
Firstly, this is their HELP page on broadcast issues if you haven't found it already....
http://www.camstreams.com/broadcaster-network.asp
Did you do the 'test' function in the user area of camstreams? That will tell you if you're setup correctly or not.
There are a couple of possibilities if it fails:
Firewall - you said your firewall is off, that's good
Do you have a wireless (or wired) router or does your cable modem plug directly into the PC where you are broadcasting? If you have a router, you'll probalby need to configure the ports on the router to allow traffic to flow on the port. They have info on the link page above, as well as links to a page that lists how to do it on the various most common routers.
Alternately (or in addition to) your ISP may block the default port. The Camstream I think uses port 80 by default? I can't remember exactly. Anyway, I had to change the default port because my ISP was blocking traffic on the default port configured in their canned encoder.
I ended up just using MS full version encoder and configuring it myself. There's info on THIS page about how to do that.

Good luck!!
