I just need to get my sling working properly again. It worked great I unplugged it to move it. Then I couldn't connect to it. Reset it up... worked for a day... then didn't work... reset it up... worked for a day... and so on. I'll have to call support.... I'm a failure as a geek ;O(

@sonburn: What you describe is often caused by the router losing the port forwarding rule to the Slingbox. Each time you do the setup it'll recreate the rule, fixing the issue. I'd try turning off UPnP on the router, then *manually* setting a port forwarding rule to the Slingbox LAN IP. (TCP port 5001 by default.)

You left out the most important feature. If you have a slingbox, and a windows PC for now(mac supposedly in the near future)you can watch your slingbox on the website. Great for visiting a friend.
