They both sound like firewall issues to me. On your parents network, just disable all firewalls and see if the problem resolves. You probably want to disconnect from your WAN connection before you do this, just in case.
Tivo Beacon is a service that lets tivos see each other on the network. If Tivo Desktop is installed normally, Tivo Beacon should start up automatically when Tivo Desktop is started. Check to make sure Tivo Beacon is set to start up automatically, if it is, it is probably complaining because the port it wants to use is blocked by firewall software.
Probably the same type of problem with Bonjour. Isn't Windows fun.
