I have spent several hours today "chatting" with tech support and cannot solve my problem - I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction or perhaps to an article which will solve my dilemna.
I can access my slingbox in the house as long as I am hardwired to the network. I cannot access the slingbox thru my wireless connection in the house.
I know I am configured remotely because the Tech I was chatting with was able to connect to the slingbox and tell me what channel was on.
I would like to be able to take my laptop to a place in the house where TV is not available and watch wirelessly - Any ideas???
Thanks in advance

Worcester, MA, United StatesIf he can access it from outside, anyone can (with the password). If it isn't working on your local WiFi network, it is a local issue. What is your network topology? How are you connecting to the SB? Local IP? Direct local connection? Finder ID?

My service is DSL. The telephone line goes into a OnQ spliiter which then goes into a speedstream DSL modem. The modem output goes to a Linksys 10/100 router. The router then has all the wall ports connected with ethernet cables. On one of the wall ports we have a Belkin wireless G plus router which I use to connect my laptop to.
If I have my laptop connected thru the LAN (hard wired), I can connect to the Slingbox. If I attempt to go wireless thru the Belkin, I get an error message about remote vieing "0x8007274D".
Does this describe enough?
Its because your using 2 routers. Best solution is to put your Belkin in place of the Linksys. There are ways to use both but you'll have to search the site for more info.
Thinking about it if you have a newer Belkin you should be able to set it to act as an access point instead of a router. This might work too.

Atlanta, United Statestrun off the router on your access point. make it just a switch+access point.
then your first router will pick up the dhcp dutty, and it should work.
I truly appreciate everyone's help and I'm sure the issue is the Belkin. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to change it to an access point versus router? Is it a hardware adjustment or software?
Thx

United StatesI presume you have added the wireless Belkin router to your network because the Linksys router does not support wireless network connections. If your Belkin router can be configured as an access point (you can call Belkin support to find out), then you can configure it as such and cause your wireless computer to get its LAN IP address from the Linksys. Alternatively, as someone suggested, you should be able to eliminate the Linksys router from your network and rely on the Belkin router for everything.

Well, I called Belkin and they helped me set the wireless router to an access point (took about 20 minutes of changing settings etc). Good news is that I now have Slingbox access wirelessly.
Now all I have to do is get away from my house and try it while I am traveling. Thanks for all the advice.
