1. I used dnsmasq (from my local network router) when setting up MythTV, 
I just let hdhr pickup an ip address without making any changes to to 
either hosts or dnsmasq.conf.

MythTV (via the hdhr drivers) will located your hdhr.

2. Make sure that you don't  have two dhcp servers showing up on the 
network (dnsmasq server and your wireless router).
