Resetting my Pro does not fix the problem. (I have also removed power for a lengthy time.) I get a flashing network light. The network switch, and all other network hardware works just fine. Because the network doesn't connect I can't access the Pro to check settings or to set it up like it was new... so I have contacted Slingmedia to see what it takes to get it fixed.

Slingbox HD PRo
It was working flawlessly for over a year and all of a sudden this week I get this error. Reset router, tried different computers, tried my iPhone (no firewall/AV), changed cables/ports. The network light is on in front of the slingbox but it gets stuck at 'Connecting' then errors out. I've reset the Slingbox and still no go. I can't use the assistant because it doesn't see the slingbox.
Help?
Thanks

I saw on Facebook that there is also a problem with the lead and overheating. I hope this is not the case. Regards Lisa
I just got a new HD Pro to replace my old first gen unit. Worked great for a few days, and then unable to connect (both LAN and WAN). I can ping, and also telnet to port 5001 and it answers, yet slingplayer cannot connect. I can reboot and it will work for 1-2 days and then no more connections.
2 calls to support yielded advice to remove power strips and surge protectors and I figured OK - makes no sense, but I'll try it. Same problem 48 hrs later. Sling support had zero diagnostic capability for the device, and basically kept hinting that my network (ethernet cable, router etc), or the electric in my house was to blame. I got rather fed up and insisted that there is nothing wrong with my network, and nothing wrong with the power in my house, and that the unit is defective. They told me to call online sales tomorrow and get a replacement.
We'll see how well that goes. 2 or 3 hours of troubleshooting and support calls so far... Completely frustrated...
I believe that there is a service withing the box that is dying or refusing slingplayer connections. To the support guy, it's all hardware. To me, it's a small computer with hardware, an OS and services. This, of course, is just my hunch...
This is a major issue that support is letting go unchecked; Something is wrong with the firmware or a bug in the update that causing loss of network connection; I have tried direct PC connection and that does not work either; All standard trouble shooting with unplug, plug, reset does not do it...Support need first to acknowledge the issue and then may be we will get a solution
I am in full agreement with you GUS1. There are just too many of us that are having this problem in this time frame for it to be anything else. My Pro won't connect to the network and resetting it, powering down, etc. is to no avail. The network connection has gone dead in the unit and it just flashes red now. Switching to a different network outlet (one that is working with my computer just fine) also didn't get it to come up. I'm dead in the water and apparently my only alternative now is to get them to 'fix' it. My Solo is still in warranty and is not the problem right now. The Pro is just a little older and is out of warranty so no telling what it will take to get it 'repaired' from this nightmare!
My Slingplayer was working fine last night and today when I try to access it, it gives me the same error message. I have not even been to the location where the slingbox is.
Also, I have had the "trouble communicating" error happen every single time I've used slingplayer for the last month or two. After about 1 hour of viewing, it does it. Now it is permanently like this. But if I want to get assistance I have to pay $30 for support. I have had nothing but problems with this thing since I've bought it.
REPLACE THE POWER SUPPLY. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A POWER LIGHT ON, THE TRANSFORMER INSIDE THE POWER SUPPLY GETS WEAK OVER TIME AND LOOSES VOLTAGE AND AMPS. IT WORKED FOR ME.
I am going to look at the Power supply thing and give it a try. Still, find it unusual that all the people have their power supply die around the same time the last few weeks!
I just bought mine 2 days ago but I have the same problem (same error). It shouldn't be a power problem.
I solved the problem by resetting the slingbox. I mean I pressed the reset button for 5 secenods and then I havent seen the error 0x92360162 again. Now I am watching it without problem. good luck
I've had the same problem since yesterday. I'll try reset the Slingbox once I get somebody near it -- it's located some 1,000km from here!
I just bought a Slingbox Solo and set it up two days ago so my son could watch local sports at college. It worked for one day and now we're getting the error message. What a piece of sh*t!
I tried resetting mine as described in a previous post, and within 24 hrs, same problem. The last advice I got from tech support was to contact online sales where I ordered it and get a replacement. Online sales had no phone contact information, only a web form, which I filled out. A day later they told me that I had to deal with support and not them. I'm completely frustrated and not looking forward to wasting another hour while tech support tries to tell me that the problem is with my a) ethernet cable, b) power supply, c) home router, d) home electric outlet.
There is a defect in the hardware or a bug in the firmware!
Yep, same thing here. I got it working again last night by unplugging it and plugging it in again. This morning it's giving me the same error message. I hope J&R takes returns, because based on what you all are saying about tech support, I don't want to waste the time. This company is so indifferent they let these posts be posted in their forum without moderation or comment. Tells you they're not even looking at the problems people are posting. I think Sling is owned by Dish Network now, which could explain the indifference and refusal to address the problem. Dish is always teetering on bankruptcy.
So I tried their tech support this morning, which according to the woman assisting is in Costa Rica (i.e., farmed out to an international call center). Her English was fine, but she tried what appeared to be the typical scripted approaches one seems to get from the international call centers. It's working for the moment, I believe simply because she had me unplug it and plug it in again, which is what I did to get it working last night. My son says on his computer (he's the internet viewer, I'm hard-wired) it's working but unwatchably slow despite both of us having very high speed cable connections. The tech support woman claims "it's probably your router," which is nonsense since it is a very mainstream high-speed wired and wireless model (DLink) which has consistently worked fine with anything else it's hooked up to.
I finally got mine to work. The problem was with the internet connection in the house that has the slingbox. The internet was down there.
I spoke via chat to slingbox in the US, They said they could not help ring the english number (closed all weekend) I have tried re-booting it but still nothing. US also said they have had the same problem come up.
Worldwide problems. My cousin in NY has had problems with this item as well.
I shall try the call centre. I emailed help but sling did not even reply!!
Forgive me for not responding for a while

IMO means that the sling was online at some point in time. The sling updated the slingfider server as to the ip address the sling was last located. Error: 0x92360162 shows in the logs only when the sling is not online at the last location the slingfinder had recorded. You can get this error both with a local and remote connections.
