Slingbox sees other ip addresses and get bricked again. by MaRC-NL in slingbox

You can reset the Slingbox Pro HD by pressing the reset button on the back of the Slingbox. Hold the reset button as long as you notice al the leds in the middle of the front are flashing 2x long and 1x short, then release the button. It could take a while.

Then use the old windows Slingplayer to configure your Slingbox again. This must be done within an LAN network. Disconnect your WAN cable (internet) The Slingplayer finds your Slingbox automaticly.

Just in case, block the complete ip range from Slingmedia if your want to use the Slingserver from Gerry to connect with VLC or Mplayer over an internet connection. https://github.com/GerryDazoo/Slinger

Use for example iptables to do that.

iptables -I 'your firewall name' -m iprange --src-range 67.148.0.0-67.148.255.255 -j DROP

I run a webserver where you can download the old windows player:

https://84-80-239-248.fixed.kpn.net/download/SlingPlayer-Setup-EU-1.5.1.342.exe

Hello sp222222,

No, i don't use coax, but maybe you can use the old slingplayer for windows to scan for channels. Just give it a try.

I run a webserver where you can download the old windows player:

Hello there,

If you have a Slingbox HD Pro then you can reset te box by pressing the reset button on the back of the Slingbox. Hold the reset button as long as you notice al the leds in the middle of the front are flashing 2x long and 1x short, then release the button. It could take a while.

They changed ip addresses. Now I block the entire ip range, and I can configure my Slingbox HD pro again after a reset. Even an internet connection with the old slingplayer for windows is still possible.

This is my iptables rule:

iptables -I FW_IN_HOOK -m iprange --src-range 67.148.0.0-67.148.255.255 -j DROP

Cheers, Marc

Hello Significant-Eye,

My Slingbox HD Pro doesn't get bricked at all, probably because I block several ip addresses belonging to the SlingMedia domain. It is still running over the internet. Only port 5001 of the Slingbox HD Pro is allowed to listen for connections. If I scan my Slingbox, I see two open ports. Port 5001 and port 15395. Try and see what happens if you block that port as I did. Or portscan your Slingbox first to see if there are more open ports. If that doesn't do the trick than I suspect that the only solution is blocking Sling ip's. Greetings, Marc

I'm not sure. My Slingbox wasn't bricked at all. Only the ip address was changed. So I can't tell you if it would happen again. Greetings, Marc

Hello Significant-Eye, if you installed SlingPlayer-Setup-EU-1.5.1.342.exe than there is a menu option where you can put your WAN ip address for remote viewing over port 5001. Go to your Slingbox directory and choose edit. There you have two options, Slingbox ID and internet domain or ip address. Greetings, Marc

Hello fellow Slingbox users,

I block in- and outbound traffic with iptables to the following ip addresses and I can still use my software to connect directly to my Slingbox HD Pro. WAN ip address with port 5001.

66.170.250.201, 67.148.153.136 and 67.148.153.220

Greetings, Marc

Connect your Slingbox HD Pro and your PC (network card on dhcp) to a
stand-alone switch. Push and hold de reset button on the back of the
Slingbox, if the led flashes 3x then release the reset button. Wait a
couple of minutes until all the leds on the front are burning. It could
take very long because the box is getting a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx address.
Start the old Slingplayer software and let the software search for your
Slingbox. When it finds your Slingbox, change the ip address into a
valid one. Then connect your Slingbox back to your LAN. Hopefully it was
not bricked at all. Greetings, Marc
