MediaTomb, what am I doing wrong?

So I downloaded and installed MediaTomb. I could not get the daemon config file to work, apparently there is no config.xml in /var/lib/mediatomb [or .mediatomb folder], but there was one under home so I did a

$ mediatomb

and that got things up and running. I localhosted the webpage, loaded some test music and then added the port to shorewall [doing this over ssh]. Then on my client machine [windows XP] I browsed for upnp devices and boom, MediaTomb, but when I click on it windows says the, "The device you are trying to use is not currently available on your network. Check to see if the devices is on the network and try again." However, as soon as I drop the screen mediatomb is running on, windows drops the device from My Network Places and when I start it, it adds it, so I don't know how it is unavailable.

All I want is to put music on my linux machine and listen to it from my XP tablet with windows media player, if someone has a better way, let me know please. Thanks.
