<br>When I run mythfrontend, i get a screen where I can select my country and language and then it takes me to "Database Configuration 1/2" page where one of the settings is Hostname. When that is set for 192.168.1.101 (the IP address of the box) it won't let me connect to the database. When I type in localhost for the Hostname, I can get into mythfrontend, but this every time I restart mythfrontend, it reverts to 192.168.1.101.<br>

I understand I should in theory use something else, but I have been running myth for approximately a decade (since .14) and have never run it in a configuration other than single combined MB/FE and don't anticipate changing that anytime soon. It is frustrating when I forget how to do basic tasks on configuring it, but I think that is due to me not having to mess around with it much when I do configure it. <br>
