[mythtv-users] Backend fails when on 2 separate networks through 2 interfaces?

Hi
I am a novice to mythtv. I am planning to set up backends with additional separate front ends, each on two parallel networks, namely (1) a wireless N network with a router connected to a cable modem and WAN (with wireless interface IP addresses 192.168.0.x), and (2) another wired/homeplug network on a separate router, not connected to the internet, but including a HDhomerun (with ethernet ip addresses 192.168.2.x, all fixed except of course the HDhomerun which is by DHCP). I can apparently ping on the two networks fine. I set the backend IP address on the box that I plan to make the master backend (ubuntu 12.04) as its fixed IP address on network (2), namely 192.168.2.200, and did the same on the frontend on the same box. With this configuration however, the frontend cannot seen the backend and goes into an infinite loop (error 139). 127.0.0.1 on both works fine, and in the past (with only one network involved), the external IP worked fine. Is this because the box has 2 IP addresses on 2 separate network interfaces? How does one get around this? In the end, I may make it a single network with the mythtv devices working through the homeplug "switch", but was hoping to keep the two systems separate.

Thank you for any suggestions.
