Hi there.
Have just gotten my new Kaiser (Tytn II) and connected it to my service provider (Telenor in Sweden).
Having some difficulties streaming video and audio and after doing some reasearch on google and xda-dev it seems that this is due to Telenors crappy network.
I made a change to my service and for now I am using the APN called "public.telenor.se". According to Telenor, this gives me a public IP on my mobile, and now I can stream media as well.
However, they charge an extra 50SEK (~5€) for this per month.
So now to my question, is there any way to see what IP I have been assinged on my gprs connection?
Does anyone else know of a different solution to the streaming media problem with Telenor in Sweden?
You can use a program like 'vxutil' to see the IP address assigned to you by your cellular provider for your GPRS connection.

Works like a charm, thanks!
And yes, it would seem that I have gotten a public IP on my phone now.
The problem I had was "Failed to connect to network" when I tried to stream media using HTC's stream player.
Has anyone else had this problem, and is there any other solution than getting a public IP on your phone?
This is probably a very specific issue that I'm experiencing but hopefully someone out there can help me.
I recently got an HTC Touch Diamond, running WM6.1. I use Internet Sharing on the phone and then connect it to my PC via a USB cable. I can then browse the web from my PC. If I now connect to my office VPN, it seems that the connection times out and / or is very slow. I can't even browse to other PC's on the network via the VPN connection as it times out. But I can ping the PC's so I know I'm definatly on the network.
Now I know what everyone is thinking... our VPN might be screwy. But if I use someone else in the office's phone (running WM6.0) I can connect and there is no problem whatsoever. The only difference is that he is on a different service provider than me (and of course a different phone).
I used to have a SE M600i before this phone and it worked perfectly on that (same service provider as now).
Has anyone experienced anything simular? Or have any ideas what I could check?
I've played around abit and found the following: When I take my SIM card and put it into another HTC running WM6.0 (can't remember the model) it works perfectly and I can browse our intranet sites over the VPN. So the problem is definatly limited to my phone.
I also used Internet Sharing on the other phone and then established the VPN connection from my laptop. I didn't change any of the settings so it is 100% the same on both phones as download from the service provider upon insertion of the SIM card.
On my phone when I'm connected to the VPN I can browse the network shares and download email, but as soon as I try and browse our intranet websites or try to connect to any database (using TOAD etc.) it doesn't seem to be able to retrieve data. Almost like the phone is not able to handle large amounts of data coming through... (i'm just guessing here)
Anyone know of any setting somewhere on the phone that could cause this to happen?
Finally got this working!!
I'm now using WMWiFiRouter to use my phone as a WiFi router and then connect to the internet from my pc. If I then connect to the VPN from my PC everything works fine.
I'm not sure if WMWiFiRouter implements Internet Connection Sharing differently than the normal ICS app on the phone, but it seems to work and it's pretty fast.
Can't believe it took two months - with absolutely no else seeming to have this issue - but I'm glad it's over now!!

even when i stream a videos it would never complete the streaming, is this normal with the att network, i have a tilt with hyperdragon installed?
BUMP anyone know when i do internet sharing with my pc, streaming youtube videos or downloading stuff stops in the middle of streaming or downloading?
Hi,i have a HTC Touch Pro,i dont know the Slingplayer can work on the TP?Or it only work on the Sprint TP and ATT Fuze?Because I try to install the sling but it ask me the IP number,Port number and ID Finder.....I dont know where is it?Can sombody help me?And show me how to play it on the Touch Pro.Thanks...
yes it does work on the touch pro.
what i would do is this,
from your home computer (or any pc you have slingplayer installed) go to your slingbox configuration and copy and paste the Slingbox ID into a text file.
Then copy the text file to your devices storage card.
Open the file on your device and copy and paste it to slingplayer on your touch pro, enter your password and you are good to go
Save the file to your storage card incase you flash your rom in the future and have to reinstall again.
It works great...I also use the above method for brining over my slinbox id...except I have it as a note in outlook...that way after a hard reset it is synced over since I use Blackberry Connect...
Didn't work for me ...
That's funny as I couldn't get the slingplayer mobile app to work on my Fuze. I was even on the phone with their support goup and they couldn't do anything. Of course, they suggested that the phone wasn't on the supported devices list so this was their response when we couldn't get it working.
I'll try following the steps suggested above to see if if works for me. Simply putting the slingplayer mobile app on the phone and launching while synched didn't work.
EDIT: I followed the instructions mentioned above and the player launches. But it doesn't connect. Error = "Unable to connect to Slingbox". The Slingbox Alias is the same as on my laptop, as is the Finder ID. I have the "Use Admin Login" selected with the password. I have a non-traditional internet service where I am and I won't bore you with all the details, but if my laptop is able to connect and watch via the Slingplayer inside my home then I would expect the Fuze to be able to do the same via a wi-fi connection. But it's not working.
EDIT2: It's working now. I believe it was because I was logged onto the Slingplayer via Admin on the laptop and it wouldn't connect on the phone. Once I logged off the laptop and retried the Fuze, it was working. Sweet!
EDIT3: Sweet ... However, streaming image is pretty choppy. Don't recall this on the Tilt.
well if you put in the settings correctly there shouldn't be a problem. However, where are you trying this from. I know if i try to run it while synced with my computer at work, it won't locate properly due to the port being blocked. off of 3g it works just fine.

Are you running the Stock ROM? Because I upgraded to the fuze as well and didn't have those problems. Well at first I did when I was running the stock ROM. Afterwards I flash a Cooked ROM and it was much better. I believe AT&T does something to stop the stream because when I stream now using my Fuze via media net it will stop after about 2-3 min. and say signal is weak but I will have full Bars.

I'm using a cooked ROM (NATF v2.1). I wasn't sure if I was missing some streaming setting or something on the phone app, but it's definitely not smooth of crisp.
Any suggestions?
From the way the original question was asked, I kind of get the feeling that the OP thinks SlingPlayer is a standalone program and doesn't have a SlingBox.
Make sure you have proxies turned off... I think AT&T locked that feature on the stock ROM, but if you are using a cooked ROM then you can disable the proxy and all is well.
I have tried every possible combination and still yet to get my slingbox to run on 3g. Via wireless, everything is great, but each time I try via 3g I get the connections settings are wrong dialog box. On my old 8525, I had my slingbox working perfectly under My ISP (as opposed to wap settings), but I couldn't get those settings to work with my Fuze. Any suggestions? Still running stock rom.

I'm new to slingbox, but it's working for me. Try going back into setup using the same computer you installed it with. Rerun setup and make sure you enable internet access.
Yes it is properly set up as I can watch it via wireless connection, it's just I cannot get the 3g to work. MEdiaNet didn't work on my 8525 and I set up a new internet connection named "My ISP" which was not based on WAP settings. My slingplayer works perfectly via wifi.

Again, I'm new to SB, but I believe that when you watch it via wifi you are connecting locally, not through the internet. Internet viewing has to be specifically enabled. I had the same issue (after clearing proxy's on the phone) and rerunning setup on the SB and enabling internet sharing worked for me.
Just my .015
Long time Slingbox user - also having the same problem.
Details: Fuze with Elite Rom, Proxy off
Wifi works (both local wifi and remote wifi from office), 3g does not.
I can swap SIM card and it runs fine on 8525 with 3g, but Fuze will not connect unless running on Wifi.
So I can't help you, but at least you're not the only one with the problem!
Fuze with stock rom, proxy's cleared. Works for me.
I'm with Zachoo, I can watch via 3g or wifi on my 8525 to my Slingbox at home, but when I try to use my Fuze, only wifi works. When I try to use 3g I get the box saying cannot connect because my settings are incorrect. When you say to clear proxies, are you refering to Start>Programs>Tools>Proxy Manager>Diable Proxy or Restore Proxy ? Thanks for all your suggestions, but since my SB works on other phones, but not mine, I am sure the SB settings are correct.
check into NAFT rom thread, he has 3 diff .cab files to remove hidden att&t proxies, then it should run like my fuze.
ps: slingmedia really sux in fuze, can't get more than 15fps...

Just a word of caution about setting up Slingbox.... periodically, it seems to lose its router settings and need to be reconfigured for access over the internet. During these times, wifi access at home will continue to work. I have had this happen several times now.

Also, the slingbox listens on port 5001 on your home network so you'll need to open that port on your firewall or use a UPNP firewall.
I was able to install mine on my stock ATT ROM without changing any proxies that I am aware of. I am using the fully qualified domain name of my home network rather than the sling player ID number. If you're using a DynDNS like thing you may try FQDN instead.
Good luck..
New version out.

Go get it guys.
Sorry for those who wanted it of me earlier, I was not allowed to.
I got my parents a Chromecast for xmas after getting one myself and being impressed with how simple it was to set up and use with Youtube, Plex, etc. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it up and running with their BT Home Hub 4 router and keep getting an "unable to connect to internet message". I've seen various posts on other forums mentioning the following as possible solutions, none of which worked in my case:
disable UPNP (also disable UPNP extended security)
disable "Smart" setup
disable parental restrictions (already done)
split the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands into 2 separate SSIDs and only connect to the 2.4GHz one
I'm no expert on routers and networking so would be grateful if anyone else who's with BT in the UK has had similar issues and managed to find a solution they could share. I'd also like to move away from my current ISP whose recent service has been a joke and out of the few providers who offer high speed fibre in my area BT seem like the best of the bunch although not being able to use my Chromecast would be a real pain.
Any advice would be much appreciated!

What firmware build is that Chromecast on? The "Unable to connect to Internet" message means it's successfully connected to WiFi, and at least for me, earlier firmware builds kept showing that. I left it alone for a few days, then power-cycled it and it had managed to download an update (build 13300) that fixed things.
If you haven't already tried power-cycling Chromecast, try that - it might have connected long enough to get an update.
