Gerry, could you take a look at my Slinger log and see why my Slingerplayer no longer streams?

[shoobydoodoo]

Hi Gerry, I hope you don't mind I'm addressing this post directly to you because it seems only you are answering these type of questions.

I have my Slingbox in Taiwan and Slinger server in Los Angeles, following instructions on figure 6 in the "Server Networking Guide." It was working fine until yesterday when the Slingerplayer could no longer stream. There has been a rainstorm around Asia Pacific. I don't know if that caused a temporary blackout, but I can see the Slingbox and router are both back online. If you could take a look at my server log and give me some hints as to what might went wrong, I'd be very very grateful.

The SB profile I'm trying to connect is "cldad." Please ignore the rest of the profiles as I have a habit of turning some SBs off when not in use. Here's the log. Thanks a million, Gerry!

Is the Slingbox in question a Pro-HD? Looks like it's been bricked. Is the router an ASUS? Do you have remote access to the router, check that the config blocking TCP port 5678 outgoing is still in place.

[shoobydoodoo]

Yes the SB is a Pro-HD. The router is D-Link. I didn't setup remote router access because I read that increases security risk. It's a modem/router combo from the ISP. I wonder if they reset some settings. It'll be some time before I can check the administrator page.

It never crossed my mind that it could've been bricked, because I have another Pro-HD for which I got the return message "Slingbox might be bricked." This one just says "Unknown error."

I guess I'll have to wait to check the port block settings and go from there. Hopefully, you'll be around when I update my finding and I'm in need of further instructions. Thank you, Gerry.
