Guest15047what is the best way to configure a master backend with a remote front end on a gateway01:51
rhpot1991Guest15047: what do you mean by gateway?02:15
Guest15047i wanted to set it up over my cablemodem/gateway/router02:26
rhpot1991Guest15047: still confused as to what you are asking02:28
Shadow__Xare you saying you want to setup a master backend at your house and then be able to access it in your aunts house 2 towns over?02:34
Guest15047that sounds great! could that be done with a vpn?  but no, im talking about the cable companys device its a 4 port ethernet/ wireless that claims to have network access. btw im a bit of a newbie to network configuration and have never set one up on linux02:45
rhpot1991Guest15047: so the device is just a router then?03:57
rhpot1991if so then yes you can easily have a frontend and separate backend on it03:58
rhpot1991if you are planning on going over the internet then its a different story and lots of things factor in03:58
Shadow__Xsuch as bandwidth and latency04:00
Guest15047where do i find the correct ip address to enable networking or can you suggest a network server to use04:01
Shadow__XGuest15047: what do you mean04:05
Shadow__Xwhere do you find the ip of the backend?04:05
Guest15047like samba nfs... can you use mythtv with those04:06
Guest15047yes04:06
Guest15047it is a router, but i dont what ip address to use04:12
Shadow__Xyou want to set a static ip for the backend04:13
Shadow__Xand you can chose that04:13
Guest15047i looked on the myth web site and it said to use 192.168.1 for the master and to add that to the mysql file but when i tried to access the file i was unable, because i did not have root access even though im the only one using the computer04:17
Guest15047sudo didnt work either04:19
rhpot1991Guest15047: you can use whatever IP you want04:20
rhpot1991if you are doing a separate frontend just make sure you do a few things:04:21
rhpot19911. in mythtv-setup make sure you use the outwards facing ip (not 127.0.0.1 or localhost)04:21
rhpot19912. enable the mysql service in mythbuntu-control-centre04:21
Shadow__XGuest15047: i would recommend reading the manual thoroughly and then use mythbuntu for your backend04:22
Guest15047my router has a ping tester i put in 6543 and it claimed to have recieved a response and it reported an ip address should i use that?04:26
Guest15047address04:27
