Do you have matching entries in /etc/hosts? That's what it took for me. I don't use SUSE because it seems any simple configuration requires a gui rather than a simple text file, so I can't help you with that. Also, make sure your firewall isn't blocking the necessary ports. If you're having problems with IM and the like, you have either a NAT setup issue and/or a firewall running that's blocking
access.<br><br>If you have an XP machine between yourself and the internet, you're on your own. For the people in my house that insist on windows, it gets relegated to some dark corner with severe antivirus/firewall stuff where it can't do any damage to my cheezy little network.<br><br>John<br><br>----- Original Message ----<br>From: Christopher Friend <christopher_friend@hotmail.com><br>To: mythtv-users@mythtv.org<br>Sent: Monday, April 3, 2006 2:10:39 PM<br>Subject: [mythtv-users] moving mythbox onto different network? computer says nooooo...<br><br><div>aaarrrrrggggghhhhhhhhhhhh.....<br><br>took me a week to set up mythtv originally (+ a month to get all the little <br>bits like remotes/mythweb working). but there i was all chuffed with a <br>perfectly working myth box, and what do i go and do? move back home from <br>uni. and all hell breaks lose...<br><br>i'll start at the beginning then.<br><br>1. took me a while to figure out how to do the whole ip
<br>address/subnet/gateway/dns name thing to network it to my xp machine at home <br>that's sharing the internet to everything. so far the best i've got is web <br>browsing and ftp working, it's refusing to do anything with instant <br>messenger programs, rpm updaters, anything other than http and ftp really. <br>so now the myth stuff...<br><br>2. what with all the changing of ip addresses to network the thing, myth <br>then refused to acknowledge the fact that i'd already spent weeks setting it <br>up, and went back to square one. a day later and ... hmm... i'm too tired to <br>make this make sense sooo...<br>ip: 192.168.0.3<br>subnet 255.255.255.0<br>in suse 10 if you go to some hosts/dns window thing i've had to change the <br>name of the pc in there back to what it was on the old network for myth to <br>even bother doing anything, so that's "trefsomethingorother", same as was in <br>my old backedup myth database around the third bunch of writing stuff... <br>workgroup
is what i've got from my xp box. i've added 2 dns servers (my <br>isp's ones).<br><br>anyway, after all that i eventually managed to get the frontend stuff using <br>the correct skin, and for a few seconds mythweb even worked *and* showed all <br>my old recordings.<br><br>but bar those few seconds it's constantly giving errors like fsocksstuff or <br>"is mythbackend running?" "should i shoot myself now?" lalala... and trying <br>to view recordings in mythfrontend it just gives up after a while.<br><br>3. i figured if my settings are ok, i don't care if i can view my old <br>recordings or not, so i figured i'd just try tuning the channels again (now <br>i'm 200 miles away from where i was last). that's about as useless as when i <br>first tried it when i first tried mythtv. just searches transports flicking <br>between locked and unlocked for a while, forget what the printout is but <br>basically it's just repetitive errors, doesnt find any transports or
<br>channels.<br><br>oh and mythfilldatabase doesnt like runnig either. bascially it's all a bit <br>of a mess.<br><br>and why does a pvr need to be connected to a network anyway? seems it's the <br>cause of most problems (at least for me), and all it's used for is the epg.<br><br>as ever, it took one button click (literaly) in windows (dual boot) to get <br>the pvr on there running. so it's not the arial or anything. i'd use it <br>instead but it's recordings are pretty bad.<br><br><br>sooo... any help with networking or channel scanning or forcing myth to be <br>myth even though it doesn't think it has access to myth even though it's on <br>the same machine would be much obliged. i'm going for an install in under 2 <br>weeks this time. i do have a final year uni project to finish. lord knows <br>i've already spent about 50 times longer trying to get linux programs <br>running than i have on that. and i've only got 4 weeks left now :o( err...
<br>yeah....<br><br><br>Christopher<br><br>ps.
