Test for open ports

If you need to check and see if your ports are opened correctly for your Place Shifting device we have created a simple way you can do this.
We have detected that your ip address is

67.202.9.192

The default Slingbox Port is 5001 and the default ports for the Monsoon Multimedia Vulkano are 49177 and 56123

Enter the port number you would like to check and click on ‘Submit’

If you would like to check an IP address other than the one shown you can delete and enter a different one in the address box.


IP address

Port Number


Only one port can be checked at a time. Do not enter multiple ports.
Note: It may take several seconds for the page to reload while the port is being checked.
There is no input error checking with this tool. Incorrect input will cause the test to fail.

You can also use this test for any other IP address or port you wish to check.
If you are having problems opening up the correct ports on your router you may ask for help from our members in the forum.

    You will need to setup TCP port forwarding in you router configuration for each slingbox.
    You could try going to portforward.com http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/default.htm
    Select your router and configure it. You will need a seperate port forward and IP address for each slingbox.
