slingbox connection problem

I have an ipad and am using the app slingbox on it.  When I hook up to the wireless in our office from the ipad I can use slingbox with no problems.  I also have a 5 spot 4g Verizon wireless device.  
When I connect to this from the ipad I can get the internet to work fine but I cannot get the slingbox to work.  Any ideas?

Did you setup the slingbox for remote viewing?

Yes.  I have a laptop with slingbox on it and it can connect to my verizon card and it works fine.  Only the ipad is having trouble.  I used to have at&t 3g service with the ipad and it worked fine on that as well.  I can connect to slingbox from ipad when I am at starbucks fyi.
It is possible that the Verizon network is blocking your Slingbox traffic.

I found out that ipad with slingbox can only use 3g to connect.  Here is the next question.  I have a Samsung 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot.  It shows that it can connect to 3G and 4G.  Is there a way on the device or in the software to tell it to connect to 3G manually?
