Well as the subject says, I'm unable to host co-op mode whilst in Windows 7. Running this under my XP partition works fine.
Info that may help
-Multiplayer works (Dedicated server)
-Firewall (ESET Smart Security 4) set to interactive, have allowed friends IP's.
-Using Hamachi 1.0.5.1 (newer versions don't work with this)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
CoD Version: 1.0
CoD: WaW can't host in Windows 7

COD5 has a bunch of updates next to it, doesn't it? Should you check for patches or are you both running outdated versions?
Have you completely disabled Windows firewall? It has a habit of sticking around even after you tell it to stop. Find your advanced network settings and disable the firewall protection on the Hamachi network adapter.
You may need to set priority on the Hamachi adapter, it could be picking up your Internet port rather than your Hamachi port. You can change the order than Windows uses networks in one of the advanced network settings dialogs.
Have you tried disabling your firewall altogether (shut it down) to see if it's causing any issues? This sometimes happens to me.
Now, a bit off topic, but:
I'm planning on switching to Windows 7 very soon. Have you had any compatibility issues with ESET and Windows 7?

All of us are running outdated versions. Windows firewall is off. ESET's firewall isn't affecting this as I've tried disabling it too. It's weird as I can host Multiplayer games, just not co-op. On XP, as I said before, has no problems whatsoever when hosting co-op. It could be some compatibility issue like I had when I tried hosting on Vista, but then again, I have no idea.
In terms of switching to Windows 7, I used to use ESET 3 but that had compatibility issues. You'll need to get 4 (if you haven't already) as it can be run without problems on Windows 7.

Maybe the older version of Hamachi has compatibility issues?

..if it's a problem with your ports that site should help you come about a means of bypassing it. Just look your router up on that list, then game your trying to open ports for. should be instructions after that.
