I am currently using a slingbox pro connected to a directtv box that is connected with one of those linksys things that sends the internet throught the power outlet. ON the other end, the ethernet is connected to an airport extreme N. I cant seem to find the slingbox on my network. i tried portforwarding and this is what i did in the airport utility... public udp & tcp ports:5001 private UDP&TCP ports:5001 i am not to good with the port stuff so detailed answers would be greatly appreciated. also, both my power and network lights are on and everycord is connected. It recently started acting up when we switched form Cable to DSL. once again i thank anyone who can help me at all! :) Networking Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:44:04 GMT aar1002 http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/39389/UNABLE-TO-FIND-A-SLINGBOX-ON-MY-NETWORK-USING-A-MAC/#discussion?src=category_rss http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/39304/Router-Receives-Deauthentication-Solo-keeps-resetting-itself-Error-0x923400dc/?src=category_rss My Slingbox Solo keeps resetting itself after a few seconds of slinging. Initially there is a connection (and a decent one too) and I can view and watch a TV channel and then it freezes and loses connection. The error message I get is: The Slingbox has reset the connection, which disconnected SlingPlayer. [Advanced users: the error code is 0x923400dc.] The dlink DIR-655 router log Acrobat N: Wireless system with MAC address XXXXXXXXXX disconnected for reason: Received Deauthentication I have tried viewing both via the web and PC version of the Slingplayer and I also tried using a different router but in all cases get the same behaviour. The router seems OK i.e. I can ping the Slingbox and I made sure that he port forwarding is set up correctly. I also exchanged the power adapter (it is a universal one but has the same output as teh original one i.e. 5V and 4.0A). I also reset the Slingbox (holding the reset button for 20 sec), connected it directly to my PC and also noticed that the connection dropped while trying to configure it. I successfully configured it after a few attempts. (Prior to that I also tried to configure...

I have done all I could to get the Slingbox up and running, but still cannot successfully set up internet viewing. So far: Tried automatic setup, failed Set up port forwarding as described, failed Called and PAID Sling to help, after 3 calls and 1 hr on the phone/remote control of my PC, failed Called Verizon to confirm my IP was public, it was Called Verizon to confirm no ports blocked other than 25/80, confirmed tried ports 443/5001/5002, all failed When I go to canyouseeme.org, NO ports could be seen, connection refused on all. Can someone help direct me to the item to correct, or the throat to choke to get this thing working? Thanks!

Everything worked great, but now it says it can't connect to the Slingbox location service; I know it's firewall related because if I turn off the firewall filters, it works fine. Can someone tell me all of the ports that need to be open? I've already got a few of them (which used to be enough?!?). What does it want? thanks, Mike Networking Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:52:24 GMT MikeLevin http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/39000/what-are-the-ports-that-need-to-be-open/#discussion?src=category_rss http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/38894/SlingLink-is-runing-my-internet-connection-HELP/?src=category_rss Hey guys. Have called Slingmedia technical support twice as well as Cox and no one knows what's wrong. I really hope someone knows what to do here. Anyways, I have to use a SlingLink because my router is upstairs, TV downstairs. But as I am setting everything up, right when I plug in the SlingLink to the outlet (directly into wall), the internet connection goes down throughout the whole house. When I unplug the SlingLinks and the SlingBox, the internet connection is still down. This has happened twice now. I have no idea what is wrong or what to do. I've installed it exactly how customer support tells me to. The only thing I can think of is that when I plug in the SlingLink to a wall outlet, some sort of surge happens which causes the internet connection to switch off. Not sure if that can even happen. Please let me know, I will be very grateful! Thanks ;) Networking Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:50:27 GMT SeanieB http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/38894/SlingLink-is-runing-my-internet-connection-HELP/#discussion?src=category_rss http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/38761/slingbox-classic-and-2wire-gateway-issues/?src=category_rss Scenario: @ home here in JAX, I've got 2 rooms each w/ a TiVo and a Slingbox Classic. Both setups pass thru a D-link 10/100 ethernet switch and the WHOLE house is networked with Linksys PLE 200 (HomePlug AV standard, 200 Mbps rated) ethernet adapters. I also use a Slingcatcher in a third, different room to be able to view content from the other two rooms and from remote Slingboxes in another city. Up until about a week or so ago I was running my network on a Linksys WRT54G router; now I'm using a 2Wire 2701, with wireless disabled. One room's Slingbox works great, (viewed inside the house) almost like it's hardwired to the Slingcatcher. And BOTH of the TiVos connect to the Internet beautifully and consistently, too. But the other Slingbox has had occasional episodes for the last few months, starting first with the Linksys router, when the Slingcatcher couldn't "see" it on the network. A few weeks ago, while still on the WRT54G this occasional problem became consistent, and now the Slingcatcher can't see the one Slingbox at all. The problem persists even with the 2Wire router, too. And now suddenly also the one Slingbox I CAN...

In the meantime, I bought and installed a new wireless router. Now my laptop cannot see my Slingbox, either locally or remotely. I'm having a hard time figuring out what I'm doing wrong. When I plug the Slingbox in to the network, I always get a solid power light and, after a few seconds, a solid network light. For a while, I didn't see the Slingbox on my router clients list. But I set up a DHCP reservation tied to the Slingbox Mac address, and now it always shows up on the client list. I don't know if that's because reserved IPs always show up on the client list, or if it means the router is actually seeing the Slingbox. I haven't been able to ping the Slingbox from the laptop, but I don't know if that's because the Slingbox isn't properly connected to the network, or if the Slingbox just doesn't respond to pings. Windows firewall is disabled. I've tried connecting the laptop directly to the router (taking wireless out of the equation). No dice. I also set up port forwarding on the router....
