Free Slingbox Finder service
Having to remember IP addresses can be a significant obstacle if you want to access your home files, media, or Slingbox on a regular basis. Beyond just
discovering your IP address numbers, you may also be faced with the problem of varying (dynamic) IP addresses. Sling Media provides a free service that
uniquely identifies your Slingbox. It is recommended that you take advantage of this easy-to-use ID service.
Using the Slingbox Finder ID, SlingPlayer automatically "finds" your Slingbox regardless of the location from where you are trying to connect.
