 After the dist-upgrade switched my software sources from Mythbuntu to
 Ubuntu, I can only connect to my mythtv backend using a frontend on the
 same machine, but not a remote one. In the backend setup, I specified
 192.168.1.189, the address of my server.

 I've used this backend for many years. This only started after upgrading
 the software.

 Running `netstat -4lnp |grep :6543` returns:

 {{{
 tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:6543          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
 -
 }}}

 This makes me think the port is binding to the 127.0.0.1 address rather
 than the actual server address I've entered. Even though the local Myth
 frontend on the server points to the full server address, this could
 explain things, but I'm not sure how to fix it even if this were the case.
