I been working on my remote access for a few days now and have not clue. I have done both manual and automatic remote access setup and I have used the direction given on the slingmeda site for linksys and still I get nothing. Really I am also having trouble with my girlfriends as well. I did the automatic on her and the manual on mine and nothing seams to work. If I do automatic on my sling box I get a message saying "can't find NAT or not working or server can't be found. I have never had this problem before and feel really lost.

If that doesn't work, something else is amiss.

I go to linksys and click on security and disable "Block Anonymous Internet Requests" and then I went to "Games/Applications and inserted I sling box info in the "Port Range Forward" with the IP addressed sign by linksys that I found in "local netowrk in Status" and then inserted 5001. Is there other filters I need to disable or enable that is not being listed anymore? MegaZone for replying. I gave my AV slingbox to my girlfriend and set it up at her place. I rested the box and followed the steps on Slingmedia support page for remote access. Is there something with linksys wireless G I need to do that the support page is not telling me.
Sling Media
Worcester, MA, United StatesWhen you say the IP address you found in 'local network status' - it is the Slingbox's IP, right? If you mean you went into Status -> Local Network, the IP address listed there (usually 192.168.1.1 on Linksys) is the *router's* LAN address. If you go into Status -> Device List, that will be the devices on the LAN and one of them should be a slingbox. Normally it'll be 192.168.1.237.

I guess I am a little confused. I go to "Status" then I click on "local network" and then lick on "DHCP Clients Table" It brings up a new window of all the devices that are connected to the router giving it IP address and MAC Info. Is this the right place to get the info? I do not get and Ip address ending with 237.
Sling Media
Worcester, MA, United StatesIf the Slingbox is using DHCP, then it will be in that table too - what was the Client Host Name? Was it 'Slingbox'?

The host name is My Slingbox but I named my slingbox another name in my slingbox setup and I named my slingbox in the linksys application/games as "Slingbox. Does that make a difference?
