I found the only solution was to use a non localhost ip address. Do this
in your mysql
select * from settings where value like '%ServerIP'
You should get
+-----------------+----------+----------+
| value | data | hostname |
+-----------------+----------+----------+
| BackendServerIP | 127.0.0.1| htpc |
| MasterServerIP | 127.0.0.1| NULL |
+-----------------+----------+----------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Change those to a non local ip address for machine's interface. So i had
to do (my ip address was 1.0.0.40) the following
update settings set data='1.0.0.40' where value='MasterServerIP';
update settings set data='1.0.0.40' where value='BackendServerIP';
Now all is fine again.
Cheers
