[mythtv-users] Mythweb finds no remote controllable frontends

Hi all

I have several frontends with "Network remote control interface" enabled.
There's no problem controlling the frontend by either 'telnet localhost 
6546' or 'netcat localhost 6546'.
Also from a different machine e.g. the backend it's possible to connect 
and control the frontends with 'telnet 192.168.1.61 6546' or 'netcat 
192.168.1.61 6546'.

But it's not possible to control them from mythweb.
It tells me that "No frontends allow remote control".

Maybe the problem is that I can't connect from the backend machine using 
the hostname 'telnet htpc 6546'. But I can connect with the exact same 
command from the machine with the hostname htpc.

I have a dhcp3 and bind9 server running on a little board. But I 
couldn't manage to get hostname's resolved with dynamic dns.
Should I first try to resolve this or may there be different problem?


Regards
Ramon
