If you believe its the firewall, and I'm assuming you're referring to the
*buntu UFW, just disable it with sudo ufw disable, then try mythmote again.
Restore it with sudo ufw enable.
Here are a couple of tools.
sudo ufw status (run on your frontends, expect something like:)
Status: active
To Action From
-- ------ ----
Anywhere ALLOW 192.168.1.0/24
Anywhere ALLOW 239.0.0.0/8
nmap -p 6546 --reason yourHostInQuestion (run from a host other than your
frontend)
Should return (among other things:)
PORT STATE SERVICE REASON
6546/tcp open mythtv syn-ack
