*Ahem*. Sorry abt that. Silly of me to not notice.

Here is my output of "ifconfig eth0"
inet addr:192.168.254.24 <http://192.168.254.24>
Bcast:255.255.255.255<http://255.255.255.255>Mask:
255.255.255.0 <http://255.255.255.0>

I would try changing your hostname to 'localhost' and using the user

Well, the /etc/hosts file does contain 'localhost' as an alternative name.
This is wierd. I'm only going to connect to it locally, so it shouldn't 
matter (besides, mysql is firewalled in lan)

Anywho, I'll login to mythtv user & see if that helps.
The thing is, I don't use this compu as a dedicated PVR box. This is my 
regular PC where I work and stuff. I just wanna pause & record live TV (& 
I'm too poor to afford another PC to use as a dedictaed PVR). So a fresh 
install would be a huge hassle .

Anywho, I logged in as 'mythtv' and exported mc.sql into mysqld.
Then I ran mythtvsetup. When I went to "Channel Editor" I couldn't see the 
mouse pointer to the screen so I couldn't "scan for channels". I'm using 
KDE, so I went to KDE control center & configged "Focus follows mouse" as 
per the howto but didn't help.





Login to the system as mythtv too. Your
