I am using Buffalo N Nifiniti wireless router and HK broadband bb100 service to connect to my SlingBox Pro HD via a Cat5 wire. I have set up the remote watching so that my wife can watch HK tv programmes in Belgium. Everytime I have completed the autonomic configuration by using the Universal Plug-in fxn of my router, I would watch TV outside home successfully, but it will fail in connection if I try to connect to Slingbox remotely several hours later. I have not changed any setting during the process at all. I have tried to set the DMZ but it got worse by cant connect to the network. Please kindly give me some suggestion as the support team in Hong Kong failed to give me a solution and blame the problem to my router. Thank you.

when it fails can you view on the LAN?

For me I can't view on the LAN but if put in the IP address in expert mode (no using the sling id) I can view at home

Regardless I've had similar results what you might want to try instead of reinstalling is simply unpluging the slingbox and then try

a lot of people have noted this to work for them and even have installed a timer to shut off the slingbox once a day to help them with this kind of problem

I can see it on the LAN. Only cant use outside home. How to set up a timer to shut off the slingbox? Now, I found a solution by using logmein to remotely set up the remote watching once again everytime it lost connection.

Same old Sling unreliability. There are not a lot of solutions here - just problems. My Sling Box is available about 50% of the time.
