My only guesses at this point are, the App doesn't work with WinXP, only Linux.
Port forwarding in a router? Boxee password for port 8800 needs to be empty?
Any feedback would be appreciated.

It should work with any version of boxee. However, Boxee itself is in beta and is constantly changing things. Which version of the Beta are you running? I would double check to make sure you are running the most recent version (.09.20.107**). You shouldn't need to do any port forwarding.
Also, I suspect that windows firewall may be the problem. Try turning off Windows Firewall (for testing) and see if it works then. If so, then port 8800 (or whatever port you have set in your boxee prefs) needs to open in windows firewall.
Sorry for your troubles.
