If you want to try to get yours working, you'll want to provide more info on what's going wrong. The best way to do this is by looking at log files. If you have mythbackend running on boot, you can kill this and just open a terminal and type mythbackend also do the same for mythfrontend. Myth is good about giving you hints on errors so if you can post the log info it'll be easier to help.<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: "sa_cooke@iprimus.com.au" <sa_cooke@iprimus.com.au><br>To: Discussion about mythtv

I<br>KNOW what IP addresses are - but why do we need them for a TV content
machine?<br>I have ADSL delivery of internet and email content to my home, so ip
addresses,<br>static or otherwise, really have no place in the scheme of things. That
is<br>all handled 'magically' (read invisibly) for me.<br><br>Steve.<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org" href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org</a><br><a href="http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users" target="_blank">http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users</a><br></div><br></div></div><br>
