[mythtv-users] MythTV needs to listen on 2 ports

[John Moore (Compucom Systems Inc)]

All this love about my having to use Outlook...  <3

It's a small price to pay for working at a good company.

Yeah, I am seeing that.  I have been so frustrated by this, that I was not seeing what was being said originally.  Now I just need to learn how to manually create Virtual Network Cards in Ubuntu.  Pit fall to using SLES, the GUI (aka YAST) does a lot for you much like Microsoft.

Will keep every one posted.

What Hika suggests is to do this all on the Mythbuntu Master Backend machine.  There is no changing of your existing network whatsoever, and no new hardware.  It is all configuration, and it will do exactly what you want.  The routing you create between the internal subnet and the parental subnet and children subnet will allow communication between those individual subnets and the Mythbuntu internal subnet, but NOT between each other.  Therefore, you do what you want, and your security is maintained.

Hope this helps!

Mike

P.S.  I'm sorry you have to use Outlook, too.
