Run mythtv-setup on your backend and set the IP address of your backend
there so that it will properly identify itself to frontends.  You probably
have 127.0.0.1 as the configured IP address of your backend in mythtv-setup
so it tells mythfrontend to connect to that IP and you get this situation.
I believe this is stated here (
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-9.html#ss9.3) although not quite so
obviously.
