I think the following might address the issue of firewall or no and other 
networking questions. I am doing reconfiguration of the Myth machine 
primarily via ssh from another machine on my LAN--the same machine I'm 
using to try and connect, using a graphical browser, to MythWeb. To ssh 
into the MythTV machine, I simply issue, from the command line on that 
host, "ssh root at mythmachine," am prompted for a password, after giving 
which, I am logged in. So there is obviously ssh traffic moving between 
the two machines via host name. I believe I've done the same ssh procedure 
by IP since I've started this project as well.

I don't recall whether I installed iptables and cannot check at this 
moment. I did try running the command Gabe referenced and got some output, 
but I am not conversant enough in iptables to interpret it. If that seems 
worth pursuing in light of what I've laid out above, I can post that 
output here later. Thanks
