VideoStream works, trying to access Remote gives Hacker Alert. Invalid Request from IP...

[stansoltz]

My video stream works fine, but I can't seem to access the Remote. the Server gives me this:

..Hacker Alert. Invalid Request from ('184.151.XXX.XXX', 59641)

When I start the Server, I get this:

Any Idea why I get the Hacker Alert when I try to connect to the remote?
Thanks

You're spelling remote wrong. Remote

[stansoltz]

Sorry, where exactly do you see it misspelled? Or, do you mean when I enter the URL in a browser the "R" in Remote should be capitalized.

Thank you, GerryDazoo! Your work to save my slingboxes is truly appreciated. I'm sure I'll have more questions, but, yes, the capital R in Remote was the trick. Perhaps add that to your README.txt so you don't have to deal with silly questions like this. I'm thinking of making a screen capture youtube video to help other Slingboxers out! Cheers from Canada!
