I'm with you on that. I just built a new mythbackend, I finally went for a BigWater SP water cooler so it's silent now, except for some quiet theraputic gargling. The point is that the IP address changed and I had to reconfigure the backend. No big deal, I just ran mysthsetup, however, it seemed very unnecessary. I had to specify the IP for my hostname. Surely we could just change the code so it does a gethostbyname().
It seems strange that the backend settings are tied to the IP address instead of the dns name. Could the be a possible modification for the next release? I'm a networking programmer by day so I guess I should really create the patch :-) Any thoughts? --- cardboil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I recently setup a wireless connectio on my mythbox, > in order to avoid > running a cable for the LAN connection.
