Help with Slingbox Remote Access, please "tempgal" <tempgal[ at ]gmail.com> 11/12/2008 8:44:56 PM Hi -- I have a new HP DV4T with Vista 64 bit and a new Slingbox Pro-HD and am having trouble making the HP DV4T cooperate. The Slingbox is configured to use Port 443. (Had to luck with the recommended 5001 port.) I believe the Slingbox configuration is correct because it works as it should with the Vista 64 computer on my home network and I am able to do the remote access from my work desktop that uses XP Pro. The problem only exists with the Vista 64 computer when attempting remote access. Have tried totally disabling the Windows Firewall and totally disabling Norton 360. Have "trusted" everything on my work network where I am attempting this from. (It is not a question of a Network Administrator blocking some ports because I would be the only one to configure such.) Have allowed Ports 443 TCP and UDP. Still no joy. Can anyone suggest what I am overlooking? Thanks. Zan

If you don't have the right software and drivers for Vista x64, then there is nothing that can be corrected here. tempgal wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hi -- > > I have a new HP DV4T with Vista 64 bit and a new Slingbox Pro-HD and am > having trouble making the HP DV4T cooperate. > > The Slingbox is configured to use Port 443.

Re: Help with Slingbox Remote Access, please "tempgal" <tempgal[ at ]gmail.com> 11/12/2008 10:03:08 PM I don't think it is a driver or a software issue but rather, a settings issue. A Slingbox is physically connected to the router and to the coaxial TV cable, not to a PC. Access is via TCP-IP.
