ahhh... thanks for the kick in the right direction... i just got done 
looking in settings.php but alas there is no setting for the address of 
the mythbackend server... some more digging made me realize that it 
fetches that setting from the mysql database... so my hostname in that 
database is likely set to 127.0.0.1 or 'localhost' or whatever and 
mythweb is attempting to connect to that... i'm assuming that gets set 
by the setup program?... i am afraid of SQL so i wont be editing it that 
way... i suppose i could hard-code the address in mythwebs settings...

hmmm... ok i'm rambling now... thanks Isaac... now i at least know where 
the problem is...
