[mythtvnz] Frontend on another computer

[Duncan Kennington]

Check your settings table in the database - 

SELECT * FROM settings WHERE value IN ('BackendServerIP', 'MasterServerIP')

BackendServerIP  	192.168.0.90  	frontend1
BackendServerIP 	192.168.0.90 	frontend2
MasterServerIP 	        192.168.0.90 	NULL

The MasterServer IP is global - the hostname is NULL.  Each Frontend should have
an entry corresponding to the backend (including the frontend running on the
backend).  

Good luck!
