Sure, what's up?

att slingbox user here too. whats your problem? problems that i have had with it were the internet settings werent correct, or it was something with my router and internet connection at home.

Thanks guys,

OK. I just can't get connected. It is killing me. My router is fixed...I talked with Slingbox support and we were able to get it set up to pass through my second router, he was able to connect to my Slingbox.

I'm on Dutty's latest and I just cannot get connected to save my life.

First, the hidden proxy. Do we remove it or restore it?

I have a two router set up. -Do U have the Regestration Key Number?

If so read on....if the answer is no and not hooked to PC call Sling and have them connect first. Then read on.

Now that your PC is connected (two SOLID red dots on Slingbox and watching on your PC) you can connect your mobile device.
-First did you buy the Registration Key ($29.99 on their website?)
-If you have the key.....Did you set up the software on your mobile device?
-Download from here --> http://downloads.slingmedia.com/go/us

-Now that you have both the Key and the software loaded you should be able enter the info under Player>Slingbox Directory>Sling Mobile>Add new Slingbox / or Properties and adjust/enter.

to connect and watch away!

Hope this helps and I should be on for a little. GL

Did you uncheck the proxy in connection settings?

Two router setup?

Why the two router setup? UPnP may not be working or not enabled in the router(s).

Did you setup port forwarding? Port 5001 I believe, forward it to the ip addy of your slingbox which by default is 192.168.1.237. If you setup port forwarding, then UPnP will not be needed.

I just got my Schwingbox last weekend and I *LOVE* it. Its awesome over my WAN, great over the internet, and can somtimes even watch passable video over the EDGE network. Sadly, 3G is nowhere near my area.

It really surprised me how well the slingbox does, even with all the probs the Kaiser has with video. BTW, slingbox is aware of the HTC video probs but so far has not even tried to improve or refine their code ala Coreplayer.

Also, you do not need to a registration key to use the software, it is free to try for 30 days. Also make sure you downloaded the correct version of Slingplayer Mobile. There are two versions, one for smartphones and one for Windows Mobile 6.

Only set up I was faced with...

Nick said it the best above!~

In my current location (Garden Apt) Modem upstairs on first floor the 4 first port router is also upstairs. 2 of thoes ports are hard wired ro PC's in that room that are always in use. the other 2 I ran (bout 120 feet of cable) to the basement where my PS3 and my PC are located. Now I need a Slingbox port!!!!! Second router acts as a hub and relays my pc and the Studbox!

In my opinion I like things hard wired....just the way I am. Nothing against wireless set ups.

Love the Slingbox/DirectTV set up I have going plus with Dutty's ROM's and the right radio for the midwest I have excellent batt life and charge. Slingbox is the way to go!

You do want to disable hidden proxy for sure. I use my Kaiser to Sling via WiFi at home and 3G while away. I use it with the Classic, HD and Solo boxes with no issues. You may need to set an outgoing port for the SlingBox manually (I had to do it manually on my Netgear router).

If you set up the box and connect to your home PC and use the same PC to active sync and install the mobile player onto the Kaiser, then the SlingBox id number will be automatically set on the Kaiser.
