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.
Hi,
When I connect to my work wifi i can´t update the weather (from htc today screen) nor my emails (windows live and gmail). Using opera i can use internet with no problems. I have my proxy configured in connections.
I connect to wifi using odessy due to the kaiser natural inability to connect to a wpa2+aes+mschapv2 wireless network.
Does anyone know why this might be happening?
Please!!! Can somebody help me with it?
Disable yer proxy when using WiFi
Well I have all but given up on gettin Palringo to connect on my TP from Alltel.
I have heard of a lot of issues using this program on the TP. When I try and connect its an endless loop of trying to connect with no timeout.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
I guess noone uses this anymore?
I use palringo but i don't have any troubles signing in, perhaps there is some issue with the proxy. Have you tried connecting to the internet with another program before/while you're trying to sign into palringo? I'm not sure it will initiate an internet connection, and i have a constant internet connection due to my exchange server, and other push email
I havent had any issues connecting with Palringo... but have a setup similar to previous poster... Email running keeping data connection alive.
It seems to be an ongoing Alltel/Palringo problem. None of the MSM75XX devices will connect to Palringo using the Alltel Data connection, they will connect with WiFi or Activesync which leads to beleive that its an Alltel problem, However the J2ME version of Palringo will connect just fine using Alltel Data connection.
Yeah, been using Palringo for sometime now and have no problems like that.
Ill have to try the J2ME version see if that will resolve the issue even with the active data connection I get no connection.
Hello.
I'm trying to connect two wireless devices (HTC hero with a WM device or PSP for example) and I want to do that without an AP.
As far as I know that's possible with AD-HOC network, but wireless tether on android seems to only share internet and not just create a wireless network and since I don't have data-plan it doesn't let me tether.
I'm basically trying to create a walkie-talkie or a messenger app
So... is it possible to create and AD-HOC connection on my phone (not for the internet)?
Thanks in advance.
couldn't you just call (walkie talkie) or sms (messenger) the other wireless device?
Sorry but that was a really dumb reply.
The purpose is to make free calls and send free messages if you haven't figured that out already and even though I'm not going to be actually using this, it's interesting to try and I could also finally put some use to my PSP.
Also it has to be *specifically* wifi.
As far as I know the Nintendo-DS supports something like this. Is that true?
I thought of this aswell.
Could be very usefull!
I'm still a mIRC user on windows
and i have androIRC
my problem is, through my cellular provider, the ip is automatically k-banned for exp/comp
maybe coz its a shared ip or whatever, i dunno
i use http tunnel for windows, and i use their free service
i just connect using localhost and voila, i can get through connecting mIRC
or the other solution is using HSS (HotSpot Shield)
my question is, is there such a thing on android?
i'm not good at all with the phrase itself of tunneling, or proxy or anything
what i'm looking for is an app that automatically do that for me, then when i connect on my androIRC, i got a different ip and i can connect just fine, just like those 2 windows app i mention above
anybody knows about this? or maybe another solution?
thanks before
