SlingPlayer problems?

Hi all, I have a weird problem.
I have a tilt and am using the HTC rom, I connect to wifi in my apartment and 3G or HSDPA when I leave the apartment.
When I'm connected through wifi, my Slingplayer works flawlessly, finds my slingbox, and plays the video. When I try to connect outside using 3G/HSDPA, I get "Cannot connect with current connection settings"
I know the Slingbox is working correctly because I can connect to it through a desktop PC without a problem, and I know that the 3G works fine on my tilt because I have no problem loading websites, using mundi, etc.
Any ideas? I've seen a couple other posts on other forums with the same problem but there were no responses on them.
Thanks!

Can you connect to anything else when on 3G?
Try your proxy settings
Did you change the default ports on the SlingBox config?
Are those ports (default or modified) open from the outside of your firewall/router?
If you have the ability to monitor inbound connections try monitoring while you connect through 3G and see if your device attempts on the correct port and that it is NATed to the correct IP and port.

I had exactly the same problem with my Belkin router. You need to set up a port on your router in order for it to work. I know on mine it involved setting up a virtual server.

I am using the TyTN II and I am having the same exact problems. I think AT&T killed access to slingbox somehow. I can surf the internet just fine, and then as soon as I start the slingplayer, my connection gets lost and my phone says "cannot sonnect with current connection settings." Any help would be appreciated, especially with the World Series coming up this week.

Possibly a silly point but can you definitely connect over the internet to it? Or just over your LAN?
There's a wizard that enables the port forwarding for you - (called Remote Viewing or something?) should be with the software for the slingbox.
Could be that your desktop is just going direct over the LAN?
Also, I had problems when I was just using the automatic settings to configure the box - in the end it works far better if you ignore the UPnP stuff, and use the manual setup process (or so I found). Again, the desktop software wizard steps you through this.

If you can connect over wifi at home, but not over wifi or 3g when away, then unless AT&T are blocking the ports, its more likely your router settings, as at home you are inside your LAN but elsewhere you have to go through your routers hardware firewall.
Just have a look at slingbox's help files.

SlingBox works fine on AT&T. Check your proxy settings on the phone. Try the "remove hidden proxy" cab. The home router also needs an outgoing port defined as well. Good Luck, I know it can work.

I will bet that it's your router/firewall blocking the incoming net traffic. Try connecting to it from a Friend's internet connection or a public computer at the library or something.

Had a similar problem with slingplayer mobile on my new HTC TouchPro- phone from Vodafone but I put in my T-mobile SIM as I wanted to keep the Web and walk.
Slingplayer worked fine from Vario3 with same sim but not from TouchPro. Eventually unticked the use proxy server in the connection settings and it started to work. Weird, as on the Vario the proxy box is ticked and it works.
Anyway, worth trying if anyone else is having problems.

One of two things, either you have not port fowarded your router to allow the Slingbox to be remotly viewed, go to portfoward.com for exact instructions for your specific router, or your hidden proxy is messing with it. More than likley its not port fowarded correctly. BTW...when your in your home network, i.e... using WiFi, it will work without the router being fwded because your slingbox is already inside your home network. When coming from the outside of your home network through 3g or whatever your router has to allow access to the slingbox.

Wifi accessing only local network (LAN), but not internet

After a hard reset the wifi is only accessing local network (LAN) addresses, not working for internet access. The internet always worked using wifi before, but now only for LAN.
Using total commander I can access my local network, connect to the computers and copy/paste files without any problem, but using any browser or trying to get weather data just don't work. For the weather it says "There was a connection error while attempting to download weather data. Retry?". I can retry forever, the same problem.
Also I have tried to changed the phone radio, but it didn't worked, so I put back the previous one. Maybe this is the problem, but I can't understand why. Is there some tool to fix/format/something radio memory, just like mtty for the rom memory?
Thanks

You could try to change energy mode to best (battery)performance:
start >settings>connections>wifi>advanced>energy mode
(sorry if used words are not all correct, translated from dutch)

I've fixed it. I've changed to static settings and now it works. Sadly I have to do that on all wifi hotspots.
Thanks for your help

I have same problem with wifi. I am connected to wifi, but i can't go on internet or update weather data.
what did u change to static settings?

Thank you why did i not think of that before all ways wondered why the dumb phone did not want to connect to the internet using it's Wifi.
Such a big problem and what a simple solution. LOL
And I have Searched Google before and no solution to this there.

[Q] Problem: Wifi disconnecting each time I stream a video.

Hey,
I am using the motorola xt860 droid 3. Owned it for about a month.
Each time i try streaming a video from youtube for example, it streams for about 10-40secs, then wifi disconnects and error comes up saying "cannot play video". As soon as the video stream closes off (due to error), the wifi begins to reconnect and connects successfully once again.
The problem is not the wifi network because someone else streams video from their iphone as normal.
This only recently started occuring. Please help.
Thanks

Have you tried streaming using your XT860 on a friend's wifi network? Or a hotspot? Does the same issue occur?
Or... I know you don't want to mess with your wifi network, but have you checked if there is a firmware update for your wireless router? Back when I had my Desire Z i had a similar problem, then after updating my firmware on my wireless router, I didn't experience the problem any more. Good luck!

Hey,
Well apparently the problem was with the internet connection/router. I was on an offshore rig and the internet connection was not the best. Because now that im back home, on my own wifi connection, the problem is not happening again.
Thanks for the info, if it ever happens again i would be sure to try that.
Thanks alot.

[Q] HTC Media Link H300

So I'm having trouble with my htc media link h300. I am trying to connect it to my wifi, so that I can stream over my network, and I'm not able to do so. I tried setting it up using my HTC One, but the phone doesn't have any options to set up the wifi. I tried using my laptop and directly connecting to it, and I went to the IP address settings page, which I found online, but when I try to add a network, it just freezes on me.
Basically, the end result I am trying to achieve is connecting my laptop to it so I can stream directly to the media link. I am able to set up my phone without any issues but only through the media link's portable hotspot feature, not through my network.
Any ideas or solutions? I've spent hours searching online without any luck.

[Q] Use Mobile data while connected to wifi? Is it possible? ?

I can't find an answer to this question anywhere. I want to use upnp for streaming video over a wifi connection that does not have Internet access. But of course, once wifi connects, mobile data is disconnected.
I was just using hotspot to create a link before. That worked just fine for streaming media that was already saved on my device, but is frustrating for streaming online video as Sprint times out my data connection every 15-30 minutes while hotspot is active. That problem seems to be only with my HTC One, because I've never experienced that before. But it can't be solved.
So my question is still, how can I stream media over wifi using cellular data? Are there any files I can edit to prevent the mobile cutout when on wifi?

Did you find a solution? I recently purchased a Bebop drone which is controlled via WiFi, for which I use my phone. I'm wondering whether it is possible to still use Mobile Data while I'm connected to the Drone's WiFi signal. My phone is a Oneplus One running latest CM12 Nightly.
