You know your SlingFinder ID? You Slingbox reports its IP address to a server Sling maintains. The Slingplayer connects to that server, and finds your IP from that Server based on your Slingfinder ID. He is talking about the ability to connect a slingbox via direct IP, which is also possible.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19140465 Tue, 25 Sep 2007 11:57:59 EDT Re: Hmmmm.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19140201 Jahntassa :

I think you can bypass the servers if you have the IP or Dyndns in place...For future products....well, that may be another thing.
Huh? Slingplayers don't connect to any servers. They act as servers. If you're on the same LAN they directly connect. If you want to access it from the web, you need to open a port on your firewall and you access it via your WAN IP.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19140201 Tue, 25 Sep 2007 11:12:02 EDT Re: Hmmmm.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19139821 Mechano : Aren't they supposed to work by accessing the IP directly ?

EchoStar buys out Sling but it's yet to be seen if it will really change anything.

They did say they were keeping all of the Sling top-people in place, so as of right now i'm guessing there'll be very little change, if any.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19139658 Tue, 25 Sep 2007 09:17:55 EDT Hmmmm.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19139635 moonpuppy : Wonder what this will do to older Sling products and if they will be supported.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19139635 Tue, 25 Sep 2007 09:11:20 EDT
