I suspect you need to add a firewall entry on your PC. Windows will block the responses from the Q box as it's coming from an address on a different VLAN.

Open windows firewall, Select Advanced Settings

Select Inbound Rules
New Rule

Name: Sky Q Pass
Enabled: Ticked

Protocol and Ports Tab
Proto Type: Any

Ports: Local and Remote: Any

Scope Tab
Local IP address: Any
Remote IP: YOUR Q BOX IP - In my case 10.4.15.91

Advanced Tab:
Specify profiles to which this rule apples
Tick all of them

That should do you.



Sir you are indeed correct - Thank You!  As a chance, i looked at the eset firewall on my pc, and it was blocking SSDP traffic and traffic from the SkyGo executable.  unblocking this immediately fixed the issue with Sky Q connecting on my PC.  I've now added the streaming and IoT Subnets to trusted zones on the basis that if i've allowed the traffic through the firewall, then it's safe!

Of course I'm now left with other issues, but that's another thread..... :)
