I am still trying to figure out my ICS port forwarding issue - and wonder if the Sling's IP address is 192.168.0.237 (WinXP Pro assigning the IP via ICS)
Any programs out there I can run to verify the IP addy? I can't seem to find in on the WinXP machine that is passing out IP addresses via ICS.
Sorry, I should have said that I hard coded the IP to .......237.
The WinXP machine does'nt do IP addresses. It's the router that hands them out via DHCP. They will be random if not hard coded, or static if hard coded. In this case, static refers to the LAN (internal) IP addresses, not the WAN (external) IP addresses. You have control of the LAN IP's through your router control. If you're not sure how to access the router, either check the router manufacturer's website, or PM me and I'll try to help.
To verify the Sling IP address, open the sling player, and when/if you see your slingbox on the directory, click on edit, then on information. The network settings should propogate if it's finding the slingbox.
