You set this during configuration of the *backend* server. See the
"General" section in:
http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-9.html#ss9.1
If you've done it correctly, then you *should* have something in the
settings table in mythconverg:
mysql> select * from settings where value='MasterServerIP';
+----------------+--------------+----------+
| value | data | hostname |
+----------------+--------------+----------+
| MasterServerIP | 127.0.0.1 | NULL |
+----------------+--------------+----------+
1 rows in set (0.01 sec)
Your data value should be something other than 127.0.0.1 since you're
running a separate frontend.
