Are 3 blocking services on Mobile Broadband? I can't connect to my SlingBox via my mobile broadband USB modem, but I can via a proxy and any other Internet connection.
I'm wondering if it's an X-Series hang-over, do they block the port if you haven't got X-Series Gold?
Anyone else having trouble?

They do block ports on Mobile Broadband, for example I couldn't get SIP to work (UDP 5060).

Try accessing via IP address ;)
On your home PC use http://whatismyip.com/ to find out your IP address.
Add another Slingbox directory entry and select Direct Connection and use your home IP address.
Your IP can change if this is an issue you can use www.dyndns.com to track the changes.

That's really quite bugging - I'd e-mailed them (as a prospective customer) to ask if they blocked any ports and they said 'not that they were aware of'. Does anyone know for certain what they block? It seems like T-Mobile WnW doesn't block any.
