I was originally using my Pundit via a wireless network but now it will be used with a wired network so I used netcardconfig to get connected. It worked fine until I restarted.
I restarted but now I wasnt connected to my network and the frontend gives a message about how it can't connect to the backend. Both the backend and frontend are on the pundit. I ran netcardconfig again so now I am connected to my network. The frontend doesn't give the message about not being able to connect anymore but it locks up if I try to watch tv or exit. From running it in an xterm I find that it still can't connect to the backend.
So I dont connet to my network at boot and my frontend doesn't connect to my backend. I dont really understand how configuring my ethenet connection messes with the mythtvbackend... Been trying to figure it out but I have no idea

you must have put in your actual ip in the setup. if that interface goes down for any reason you can't access the backend even if it's on the same computer. If you leave it at the default of using the loopback it shouldn't matter, as the loopback should always be up.

Try logging in from a shell and running "ifconfig -a" to make sure your loopback port exists and is enabled:
Code: root@mythtv:~ # ifconfig -a
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:8D:E5:7A:B0

It's there but it doesnt have 127.0.0.1 listed as the IP. How do I fix that?

That fixed it, thanks!
It resets back at boot though, how can I make it stick?
and also how can I make my netcardconfig settings stick, they don't seem to.

At boottime the network settings are read from /etc/network/interfaces. Here's an example:
Code: # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation
# (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)
# automatically added when upgrading
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 1.2.3.4
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 1.2.3.0
broadcast 1.2.3.255
gateway 1.2.3.254
