If the other comments don't help, I'd look at the data base directly.

I don't know if the following works in your distribution. You may need
to fill in the user, password and data base.

. /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt 
mysql -u$DBUserName -p$DBPassword $DBName -e \
    "SELECT * FROM settings WHERE value LIKE '%ServerIP'"

You should see the following only with your IP address
and hostname for the master (I don't have any slaves):

+-----------------+---------------+----------+
| value           | data          | hostname |
+-----------------+---------------+----------+
| MasterServerIP  | 192.168.2.200 | NULL     | 
| BackendServerIP | 192.168.2.200 | mc0      | 
+-----------------+---------------+----------+
