    I recently purchased a slingbox but I can't get it to work as my ISP is Magnet and they don't support port forwarding.
    Has anyone managed to get around this issue? I'm using the telsey router that they supplied.
    I've heard you may be able to get around the problem by connecting a wireless router to the telsey router and configuring the port forwarding through that. Has anyone tried this?? I don't want to go out and buy a wireless router to find out that this approach doesn't work!

    Cheers Paul, that's the route I took also.. A friend had a spare wireless router and it works perfectly through that.

    Magnet put the modem in bridge mode so you don't need to port forward. The Slingbox will get a public IP as there's no NAT.

    It should be plug and play!!
