No, that's not true.  He said his connection to the DB was fine, so 
presumably he's already set up mysql.txt correctly.  Once a connection 
to the DB is made, it retrieves the master backend IP from the 
'settings' table.

Ed, if you can't find the setup program on your backend (if you 
installed from packages it might be called 'mythtvsetup'), you can edit 
the database directly.  If you're comfortable with MySQL, you can try 
the following query in the 'mythconverg' database:

UPDATE settings SET data='<your real master backend IP address>' where 
value = 'MasterServerIP';
