Okay, I searched and searched for this problem and couldn't find another person with the same issue. I'm probably just using the wrong keywords... I'm running R5A16 Anyway, this is what happens: when I start up mythtv the network works just fine. I can open mythweb in my browser, and can ssh via putty. However, at some point I cannot connect to my myth box. I can't even ping it. Does anyone know what is causing this? Restarting the mythtv box fixes the problem, but this feels real crude and I'd like to avoid it if I can. Any suggestions welcome. thanks. |

Have you looked at the system logs? http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/faq/index.php?action=artikel&cat=374472&id=29&artlang=en |

If you are using DHCP, perhaps an expired lease? |

pretty common with wireless, particularly with the orinoco drivers, but that's just a guess out of the blue since you didn't specify. |

Okay, I am using DHCP (wired, not wireless) Is there any way around this? Is there a setting in my router I can change to prevent this? Or am I going to have to hardcode an IP? |

WAIT! Doh, I was wrong. I can ping it... So it seems to not be a DHCP error, the mythtv box is keeping the same ip. However I am getting a "connection refused" both when I try to open the ip using a browser or putty. I haven't checked error logs yet because I am recording and don't want to restart the computer. I will post any logs I see once I do that, though. |

okay, update: I had created a network share for \\myth\mythtv and when I accidentally clicked on it this morning it pulled up a login window. So I provided the mythtv mythtv login and password and was able to open the folder. I thought, that this would fix my problem, but again when I typed the IP in my browser I received a connection refused message. So, I thought to try typing mythtv in the browser, and that worked! Same with putty, if I try to connect to the IP I get an error but if I connect to myth it works. Why would the IP be blocked but the alias isn't? This essentially resolves my issues, I just need to get used to connecting to aliases instead of the IP. However, I am curious as to why this happened. |

Take a look at the file /etc/hosts it handles names resolution. |
