Is the backend running on the same computer as the frontend? If not you need to configure the frontend with the ip address of the backend. Did you start the backend after configuring it? rcmythbackend restart This is what I use to test to see if it is running ps -e | grep myth 25643 ? 00:02:16 mythbackend Also please have a look at http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Opensuse_10.2 -- Regards, Graham Smith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
