Both my frontend and backend run on the same machine, so the ip address is 127.0.0.1 and I'm using the default port (6543 I think).

Your lack of connectivity could be a result of the new uPnP support
which is now enabled by default.

If you run mythfrontend with the '--disable-autodiscovery' option you
should get the old non-uPnP functionality which uses
~/.myththv/mysql.txt instead of autodiscovery.
