Some corporations use firewalls to prevent access to certain outside resources on the Internet. If you
have trouble using your Slingbox from the office, this might be the reason. If you’re having trouble
connecting to your Slingbox, try to connect to a Web site from which video is playable. If you can’t
stream from this site, you may not be able to stream your in-home Slingbox from the office.
Additionally, some office locations use proxy servers for security between office workstations and the
Internet. If you use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, you may need to enter this information if
you are having trouble viewing your Slingbox.
To enter proxy server information:
1. Select Player > SlingPlayer Options.
The Options window opens.
2. Select the check box to enter proxy information in the Connections tab.
3. Enter the proxy server information.
This information is specific to your office network. Contact your system administrator for details.
4. Click OK to save the changes.

1. Select View > Slingbox Directory.
The Slingbox directory opens.
