I did set it manually - the auto bit did not work. I created a service for slingbox and opened port 5001 for TCP/UDP. I then went to the port forwarding and set up a rule for slingbox to allow it always and send it to the slingbox ip (192.168.1.237). I then set the slingbox to the same IP and port. This was verified by the sling tech support when they viewed my desktop.

"I'm a bit confused w/respect to what you're telling us regarding canyouseeme. First you say that canyouseeme is indicating you've got port 80 open (why?). Then you say it's blocked. Can you clarify that?"
I can not see 80 open or any other port for that matter when I run a port scan or try the ones people suggested (5001, 443, 80, 21). ATT guy told me 80 has to be open for internet traffic.

"Do you have keep-alives set up on the Netgear so that the PPPoE connection stays established? It won't matter if you've already got the connection up from your PCs...but it will once you get things working and you're trying to access the Sling remotely and the PPPoE connection times out."
I think, but I will check. Timeout is set to off

Thanks!
