That's strange. I am experiencing the EXACT same problem under almost the exact same circumstances.

I too live remote and the Slingbox AV is at my parents house. They too had a power outage yesterday and we can no longer connect as well.

My mom has the Slingbox software on her computer as well, but she too is unable to connect. I am at a loss as to what to do. It has been working fine for months, even though several other power outages.

The Slingbox itself appears to power on and cycle though fine, but of couse looks can be deceiving. We have reboot all computers, DISH receiver, and the Slingbox itself.

The error I am receiving says:

---------------------------
SlingPlayer
---------------------------
Your Slingbox is unable to communicate with the Slingbox Finder, or you entered an incorrect Finder ID. Check your Finder ID and make sure remote viewing is enabled for your Slingbox. If the ID and settings are correct, check your home network and router.



Error: 0x9234006E
---------------------------

All the network settings are fine, nothing has been changed.  One minute we were watching a movie on the Slingox, the next *poof*, power goes out across the world and we have had nothing since. 

Any suggestions anyone?

This happened to me too. What i discovered the problem was the router (mine is linksys wrt54g) reset the gaming and applications data. You might want your parents to access the router and re-input the necessary data to reconnect slingbox. This usually happens after power failure where the slingbox is connected.

I have a very similar situation... I'm in London and my Slingbox is at my apartment in Detroit. There was an ice storm recently (in Detroit) and the power went out for a few hours. Now my slingbox doesn't work. I've had my sister unplug everything for 30 and then 60 seconds and plug it back in but to no avail. I have a linksys router that's hardwired to the slingbox. In these cases is it he IP address that has changed on the router or has the IP of the slingbox changed? I'm a bit confused. If someone could give me some practical advice I'd really appreciate the help. I just really need to get this thing back up and running. British TV really sucks and my slingbox is my only link to civilization! (plus I really miss the Wings and Pistons) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sad to see this board doesn't work with Safari.

I have exactly the same problem as bigjimunc. The Slingbox actually died while I was watching it and I cannot reconnect. What is strange is that if I close everything down and restart the slingplayer it doesn't ask me for a password as usual. I thought it was possible to connect directly using the serial number of the Slingbox but it simply won't do it. As for "British TV sucks" TravisLai, you'd be happy to watch it if you were in Greece believe me!

Did anyone actually find a solution? If so, please let us all know!  

Well done TravisLai!

I tried the same (except it was my bro not my sis who did it!) and I am now back in business.  

And British TV is great!

The same thing happened to me.  Power outage (during March madness!!). When it came back on,  the sling box was somehow disabled. My husband was watching from work, so he was naturally freaking out.  Anyway, I unplugged the Linksys router, the wireless bridge and the sling box and waited about 5 minutes.  I then plugged them in, in that order, waiting about 2-3 minutes in between each device. Worked perfectly.
