Hello,

First, Here is the output of the browser link to port 6544 on my mythtv box:

*This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated 
with it. The document tree is shown below.
<String>mythtv2013</String>

*Iget the same from my other box (10.0.1.12). Shows the line above. Host 
name is "mythtv2013". To me that appears to work fine unless more 
information should be displayed.

 From my android phone (galaxy II) running the same line: 
http://10.0.1.12:6544/GetHostName I get a 404: Not Found error.

Interesting.

Now to the nmap port test you suggested:

*[coffee at coffee ~]$ nmap -p 6544 --reason 10.0.1.12**
**
**Starting Nmap 6.01 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-05-15 08:01 EDT**
**Nmap scan report for mythtv2013.athome.net (10.0.1.12)**
**Host is up, received syn-ack (0.00024s latency).**
**PORT     STATE SERVICE REASON**
**6544/tcp open  mythtv  syn-ack**
**
**Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.10 seconds

*This seems to show that the port is open and running service mythtv. 
However,When trying aFE only box/ android and letting it scan for BE's. 
The BE is never found. I bet this is some configuration issueor 
something. The only changes I have made to the BE are 1. Changing the ip 
addresses in the mythtv-setup/general to 10.0.1.12

Thanks,

coffee
