hi did any one help?or did you find how to get it working?

Hi Dan/Pagemakers, can you give us a little more detail like which version you are using, did you change anything in your configuration and then this started happening, what kind of Slingbox you have, firmware you're running etc.

thanks

I am having exactly the same problem.  I can only connect to my Slingbox from 1 of the 3 PCs on my network.  The other two cannot see the Slingbox.  I get error 0x8007274D, and if I try to go through the setup wizard then the affected PCs report no Slingbox on my network.  I have tried doing a factory reset on my Slingbox with no success.

 I am using a UK Slingbox connected to my router via a wireless bridge.  I am on the latest UK firmware and the latest versions of Slingplayer.   The most recent change has been the new firmware and Slingplayer, however I know it's worked since then since I used theSlingbox a lot over Christmas remotely from one of the PCs that now can't connect.

This would seem like a firewall issue on the two affected PCs but as I say one of them worked fine very recently with no firewall changes and the other one has no software firewal.  The only thing that may be significant is that the two that can't connect are laptops and also connect to the network wirelessly, whereas the one that works (perfectly) has a wired connection to the router.

Any resolution for any of you? I have been on a business trip and was watching my slingbox, then the next time that I tried to connect I got this error message. I've confirmed with home that the internet is up and running, and nobody but me deals with the router or slingbox so there have been no changes there. If I can't access this reliably it really does defeat the purpose. I have a 2Wire router, a pro slingbox.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Brian, is there any further info that you might be able to provide? I'm just about at the end of my return window so if I can't get this figured out I will need to return it. Thanks

I read some other posts on this and tried reseting the slingbox again and going through the setup and making sure the IP is also setup for DMZ and everything seems to be working fine for now.

Yes

I am experiencing the same error message when trying to access over the WAN via either my PC or my mobile phone. Everthing was working fine until a couple weeks ago and now I get this error. I AM able to access the box when I am viewing  over my LAN connection. I have the Slingbox Pro and the latest s/w.

Hey All,

We're still tracking this down.

These types of errors generally refers to something along these lines:

• home network is down
• port forwarding is not set up
• a firewall on the home network is causing remote connection issues
  

For those of you with the issue, a little more info would be helpful.

1. Error occurs inside the home, outside the home, both?
2. Have you made any changes to your home network? (New router, new router firmware, etc)
   
3. For those of you with remote viewing problems only, has it ever worked outside the home?
4. For those of you withremote viewing issues, have you tried re-configuring the Slingbox for remote viewing? (If not, give it  try.)
5. For those of you with LAN + WAN issues, have you tried unplugging the Slingbox and plugging it back in? (If not, give it a try.)
   

If you've never had remote viewing working (Sandra?), I do suggest you contact Support directly. That can assist in configuring your router either over the phone or via PC if you allow them.

To reset remote viewing for those of you who just encountered this issue, within the Slingplayer (when at home) click on Slingbox > Slinggbox Directory > Edit Info > Slingbox Configuration > Network Settings | Change

A Factory Reset may also be called for if the Slingbox can't get a new IP from a new router. Factory Reset instructions are here:
