[mythtv-users] frontend connects to localhost not what mysql specifies

[Paul McKellar]

In short, my remote frontend connect to mysql but do not use the ip
information contained.

---

i have two frontends and they both do the same thing.  i can't watch
tv or watch recorded videos because it asks if the ip is correct in
the setup program.  I set the ip in the setup program to 192.168.1.4
and looked in mythconverg.settings and found as such.

mysql> select * from settings where data = "192.168.1.4";
+-----------------+-------------+----------+
| value           | data        | hostname |
+-----------------+-------------+----------+
| MasterServerIP  | 192.168.1.4 | tvbox    |
| BackendServerIP | 192.168.1.4 | tvbox    |
+-----------------+-------------+----------+
2 rows in set (0.03 sec)

the ip is actually 1.4  as shown here:

root at tvbox:~# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:8D:34:0C:25
          inet addr:192.168.1.4  Bcast:255.255.255.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

the frontends are mac and knoppmyth on x86.  the mac prints out this. 
knoppmyth shows the error but i haven't run it front a terminal to
find what error it shows.

2005-10-29 15:31:26.434 Connecting to backend server: localhost:6543
(try 1 of 5)
Connection timed out.

Both frontends are obviously connecting to the backend to get mysql
information including programing guide info.  There is a third
frontend running on the backend which works perfectly.  And it shows
itself connecting to the right ip.  or 192.168.1.4  in the consol when
run.  Why would the local frontend get a different ip that the remote
frontend.  I've rebooted all machines involved and deleted ~/.mythtv/
on the remote frontends but not the local frontends because they work
: )

thanks for any help.
