Do I need to disconnect the Ooma and restart my router so that my slingbox is visible again?

I made a lot of changes to my dd-wrt router trying to make my Slingbox work. I then remembered my Ooma sat outside of the network :(. You made it easy, I did set up my Slingbox for a static IP, that was a good tip! Thank you, this was great info! I made a lot of changes to my dd-wrt router trying to make my Slingbox work.

I almost contacted Sling to get this setup, but decided to check online for this. It works like a charm outside of my home network. However, I can no longer access the Slingbox on my internal network. Any thoughts on correcting that or would I have to manually change that each time I wanted remote viewing and network viewing?

I used this for forwarding my security DVR stream thru Ooma and it works! Thanks again, it would probably took much longer without your guide! Thanks a lot!

BUT .... If there's a power outage and/or the various components (ooma, router, etc) are reset, will this still work? If I understand correctly, the Ooma assigns an address in the range of .35.10 to .35.160 to the home network router. Let's say that the WAN IP address on the router is .35.108 now, and you set Ooma Port Forwarding for 5001 to 172.27.35.108. After the components are reset, isn't it likely that the router will have a differnt LAN in the range of 10 to 160? This is GREAT; it fixed my problem. BUT ….

Once I move my ooma box to a port on my router, then everything works as normal, yet I don't benefit from the QOS of the Ooma box.

I had already dealt with the DHCP reassignment issue, but the instructions on how to set up port forwarding were dead on! Thanks. Brad – Great tip.
