I believe that you would just do a regular install of the script. Then any computer (client) that wants to listen to the music on the server (host) would just point their browser to that servers address.

I stream from a linux box and all the windows boxes on my network goto the ip address in the browser

so my server has address of say 192.168.1.105 and I just point my windows box to http://192.168.1.105/njb/ and then I login with account and walaa I am free to browse and stream across my network.

My problem is I hosted my media files in one domain, for example, http://www.media.com/.... , i like to install netjukebox on another domain. http://www.jukebox.com/netjukebox/ . Is it possible?
Thanks

This is not possible because:
In netjukebox I make use of getID3() to retrieve playtime, bitrate, etc..
GetID3() requires that the files are local.
Transcoding isn't possible form http:// but is only possible from a local hd or network share.

Maybe you can synchronize the files to another ftp server with something like SyncBack
There is also a free version: http://www.2brightsparks.com/
