Thanks,

Just to make sure I understand correclty, should I change the hostname
on the computer to something real and follow
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.14
first, then go into mythtv setup and on the combined fe/be do:

Mythtv Setup
General
Host Address Backend Setup

Local Backend (localhost.localdomain)
IP Address (change to static ip of combined fe/be)

Master Backend
IP Address (already set to static ip of combined fe/be)

I don't understand at what point it creates a new hostname in the
settings table.

Thanks again,

Mark
