I have both a Slingbox Pro and Slingbox Classic connected on my home network.  The Pro is hardwired to my AT&T DSL modem/router and the Classic is connected to a wireless ethernet bridge in a different room.  I have no difficulty connecting to either Slingbox locally or remotely using PC Slingplayer.

The problem I am having is that I am unable to connect to the Slingbox Pro using Slingplayer Mobile on my BlackJack 1 from AT&T.  When I attempt to connect to the Slingbox Pro, the phone display shows the normal "Locating", "Connecting...", "Starting...", but it times out with the error message that I am unable to continue streaming because of a weak connection.  I tried playing around with the SP mobile settings, but every time the phone times out due to a weak connection.  I can't even connect to the Pro if I set the SP mobile for audio only!

The weird thing is I am able to connect to the Classic on my BlackJack with no problems.  SP mobile connects very quickly and the framerate and bitrate are as expected.

I have had no issues watching the Pro on my BJ in the past, but this problem just started within the last week.  I am getting good speed test results of over 500 kb/sec on AT&T's 3G network here in the Austin, Texas area.

I was hoping that some other mobile Slingers out there have had similar problems and were able to find a solution.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
