Auto login, and wireless normally starts automatically, too. So
normally, no problem. But sometimes (I think the router is dodgy)
wireless drops out and even though it's static IP, when that happens
there is no active IP address. In this case, I'll be addressing the
router issue.
But that lead me to wonder, in general, if MythTV can be made to run
standalone with no network connection. Others have suggested using
localhost/127.0.0.1, but I've not tried that. (I know that would defeat
the many advantages of MythTV with multiple frontends, remote access, etc.)
