I have a Slingbox Pro connected to a Linksys router. I've been using it remotely with my windows laptop fine for more than 1 year already. Recently, I bought a macbook pro w/ Leopard and installed the slingplayer for mac. Remote viewing using the macbook pro was fine for 2 weeks til this week. It just suddenly stopped working. Local viewing however is still fine. Whenever I try to open my slingbox remotely using macbook pro, this is what comes out:
"Slingplayer can't connect to the Slingbox Location Service. Check your network's internet connection and firewall settings. If they're okay, then the Slingbox Location Service might be termporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
To verify and remedy this problem, here's what i've done:
1) Check Leopard firewall and made sure all incoming connections are allowed.
2) Opened my windows laptop slingbox player and verified remote viewing is okay so this is a mac related problem and not my router nor slingbox pro.
3) Using my macbook pro slingbox player, tried slingbox setup assistant at home (where my slingbox pro is connected) and it tells me that there's no problem with remote viewing.
After repeated tries for a couple of days now, my mac slingplayer still doesn't work. Pls help.
