[mythtv-users] Network Control Socket

[R. G. Newbury]

I'm missing something but can't figure out what.
I'm trying to use the network control socket. The mythbox is setup in 
the general settings to use port 6546

Using fedora ( so it's nc not netcat) I enter:

nc 192.168.1.96 6546  on my laptop, to try to contact the myth box.

Nothing.
If I ssh into the mythbox and try 'nc -l 6546' on that end, it says 'nc: 
Address already in use'. So myth is doing its bit.

I then tried any number of variants of 'nc IP port' with 'jump 
programguide' after, and with echo before, with | and >, with cat and 
anything else I could think of.

Nothing. I am clueless. Can someone give me a clue?

Geoff
