How to find the local (LAN) IP address for your Slingbox

For example:

• With some versions of SlingPlayer for Mobile Devices, you may need to create a local (home use-only) Slingbox Directory entry for your Slingbox;
• You may need to know which local IP address your Slingbox is using when configuring or maintaining your router;
• You may also find it useful to know which of your router's ports your Slingbox is using.
  

To find the local IP address that your Slingbox is using, you'll visit the Slingbox.com Support website. For your convenience, there's a link to it on the right side of this page.

Finding the local IP address your Slingbox is using

1. Click the link to the right to go to the Slingbox.com Support site.
2. Look in the upper-right corner of the screen. If you see Log In to Your Sling Account, click that link.
   If you see your email address, then you're already logged in. Skip to Step 4.
3. Enter your Sling Account email address and password, then click Login.
4. Click the Support tab at the top of the page.
   You see a page like the following:
   

• Look for the entry marked Slingbox Private IP Address. That's the local IP address for your Slingbox.
• You might also find it useful to know the Port that your Slingbox is using. Typically that's Port 5001, as shown here.
