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?

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?
