Hi Phil,
   OK. It seems that I finally found what you were talking about. It's
not in the frontend on the backend machine. It's in the application
mythtv-setup. In that app I still had the backend-server address as
localhost. When I changed that to Dragonfly's IP address then the
remote machines started working.

   Thanks for the hints and help.

   I am still somewhat confused as to why the local frontend must be
set to localhost, and why I cannot seem to grant Dragonfly access
through the network interface, but at least things are starting to
function and the pressure is somewhat off for the next day or two.

   Again, thanks for all the help from you and others.

Cheers,
Mark
