[mythtv-users] Using MythTV 'offline'?

[PlainFaceBoy]

I've checked the last suggestion below and it is listening on 127.0.0.1.
The other two possible solutions (static IP and fixing system network) sound reasonable, but I don't know how to do either!
My ISP dynamically assigns my IP each time I connect, so not sure how I would make a static IP - or would it be be one of the 192.168.0's....etc?
Thanks.

Why not set a static IP for the box, and point to that? 


Could it be that MySQL is either not listening on 127.0.0.1 and/or MySQL permissions are rejecting logins from 127.0.0.1, but accepting from 192.168.x.x? 

To check what address the MySQL daemon is listening on (from Bash): 
bash$ sudo netstat -npl | grep 3306 

To check what address the mythtv MySQL user is allowed to connect to MySQL on (from MySQL prompt): 

Post the results of the above commands here, if you're unsure.
