Help With Network Connectivity
I just got a Slingbox Pro and am having trouble getting it to work with my home network.
We have FiOS; our apartment is hard wired for ethernet, so the SlingBox is connect from the FiOS router in the home office via a gigabit switch in our closet to the living room where the TV/DVR/SlingBox is. I can't get the SlingBox to recognize our network (the network light keeps flashing). It does seem to work if I take the SlingBox into the office and plug it in directly to the router so I think it must be ip-related?
I also noticed a related (I think) problem when I had my smart TV plugged in using the wired port; it would search for a network connection for a while each time when I turned it on. I don't have any problems now that I switched to a wireless connection.
Thoughts?
