Cannot connect to Slingbox #407

Slinger can't find the Slingbox Solo on my network. giving the Can't find a slingbox on network. Please make sure it's plugged in and connected. Check config.ini, Giving up, sorry... message.

I connected it to my router, and I can see the MAC on there. It's possible that the Slingbox password could have been reset and I pressed the reset button while trying to figure this out with no luck.

I tried SlingPlayer 2 on Windows and SlingPlayer 1 on Mac to see if it could find the Slingbox, but it couldn't.

What should I do?

Thanks.

Seeing the MAC doesn't help. What is it's IP address? To probe for slingboxes the software sends out a UDP broadcast message on port 5004 and expects a reply from all the slingboxes connected to your LAN. If my code and the sling code can't find it then your got some networking issues or maybe the solo was configured with a static IP that's not on your LAN. PS. Next time please post all the output from the server. There's useful information there,
