Nope - still 127.0.0.1.

But I figured out what happened - the new router that the box now 
connects to has the name associated with the new address set to 
"MythBox" in the DHCP settings. Which of course became the box' new 
hostname, rather than "localhost", which it used to be...
So, I changed the hostname back, deleted all mythconverg.settings 
entries that had the hostname filed set to "MythBox" and Voila! We're back.

Phew!


Thanks anyways!




Cheers,
