Yes you are right, I should have phrased it that way. Thanks for you help. My WiFi network is connected to the slingbox but when I look for the channels says “can’t find server”. From my iPad I can change the channel on my sling box so I know it’s connected but no channels are displayed. I know it is hooked up right because on the tv I have the box connected to all the displays work when I use the sling remote. My thoughts are it has something to do with IP address which is what I see as the culprit in others with connection issues. If you have any thoughts or suggestions would love to hear them. Thanks
