It shouldn't be an issue running mythfrontends and mythbackends in different networks as long as these boxes can see each other.<br><br>My setup is different from yours though. I have a mythbackend server that is also a router (three network interfaces). One (eth1) connects to the internet with dhcp assigned by ISP, one (eth0) connects to
<a href="http://192.168.1.0/24">192.168.1.0/24</a> network and the other (eth2) connects to <a href="http://192.168.0.0/24">192.168.0.0/24</a> network. I dont have to do any port forwarding at all. <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Hi,<br><br>I haven't found too much information on running a frontend on a different<br>box from a backend, let alone having the two run on different networks.<br><br>Before I post details on my current setup, I was wondering if anyone could
<br>point me toward resources describing how to set up frontends and backends on<br>different boxes, where the boxes are on different networks.<br><br>I currently have a stand-alone box running Ubuntu's Breezy Badger with a
<br>Hauppauge PVR-150 tuner, and MythTV 0.20. This box works well since I<br>installed 0.20 a couple weeks ago.<br><br>In the past, I have tried running mythfrontend and mythbackend on a<br>similarly-configured box and had them able to communicate with one another.
<br>They could share tuners and all when I set the IP addresses properly under<br>mythtv-setup's General page.<br><br>The difference now is that the two boxes are on a separate network. For<br>example, in the past, one box might have had an IP address of
<a href="http://192.168.0.2">192.168.0.2</a><br>while the other might have an IP address of <a href="http://192.168.0.3">192.168.0.3</a>, both connected by a<br>router with IP address <a href="http://192.168.0.1">192.168.0.1
</a>.<br><br> [ ] <a href="http://192.168.0.1">192.168.0.1</a><br> |<br> +--------+---------+<br> | |<br> [ ] <a href="http://192.168.0.2">192.168.0.2</a> [ ] <a href="http://192.168.0.3">
192.168.0.3</a><br><br>Now, I still have the <a href="http://192.168.0.1">192.168.0.1</a> router with the <a href="http://192.168.0.2">192.168.0.2</a> PC. The<br><a href="http://192.168.0.1">192.168.0.1</a> router is now connected to a
<a href="http://192.168.1.1">192.168.1.1</a> router, and the other<br>PC has an IP address of <a href="http://192.168.1.2">192.168.1.2</a>.<br><br> [ ] <a href="http://192.168.1.1">192.168.1.1</a><br> |
<br> +--------+---------+<br> | | <a href="http://192.168.1.3">192.168.1.3</a><br> [ ] <a href="http://192.168.1.2">192.168.1.2</a> [ ] <a href="http://192.168.0.1">192.168.0.1</a><br> |
<br> +--------+---------+<br> | |<br> [ ] [ ] <a href="http://192.168.0.2">192.168.0.2</a><br><br>I have already forwarded the MySQL port and the mythbackend ports (3306,
<br>6543, and 6544) on the router [<a href="http://192.168.0.1">192.168.0.1</a>] to forward to <a href="http://192.168.0.2">192.168.0.2</a>. At no<br>point should there be any communication past router [<a href="http://192.168.1.1">
192.168.1.1</a>].<br><br>In addition, I ran mythtv-setup on <a href="http://192.168.0.2">192.168.0.2</a> and set both IP addresses<br>(host IP and master backend IP) to <a href="http://192.168.1.3">192.168.1.3</a>. If I did not do this, host
<br><a href="http://192.168.1.2">192.168.1.2</a> would try to access <a href="http://192.168.0.2">192.168.0.2</a> using the "<a href="http://192.168.0.2">192.168.0.2</a>" IP<br>address, which caused problems. Changing these IP addresses did not seem to
<br>break anything on <a href="http://192.168.0.2">192.168.0.2</a>.<br><br>As I stated before, right now, I'm only looking for pointers/advice/gotchas<br>that someone knows about. If anyone is familiar with this and is interested
<br>in more information, I can try to provide detailed messages.<br><br>Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">
