I am running on a combination Frontend/BackEnd.  0.23-fixes.  I
apologize for not being clear about that.

I had gotten as far as looking at the setting table for the value of
BackendServerIP, but hadn't made the connection that I had to use the
machine name instead of the IP Address.  So, I went into /etc/hosts
and changed Papercut from 127.0.1.1 to its network address.  (ping
Papercut now returns the network address)  I then went into
mythtv-setup and changed the local backend and master backend
addresses to 'Papercut'.  Mythfrontend still works correctly.
Unfortunately, I still get the same results as before (below).

<------------>
mythuser at Papercut:~/.mythtv$ mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg -e "SELECT
* FROM settings WHERE value LIKE 'BackendServerIP'"
Enter password:
+-----------------+----------+----------+
| value           | data     | hostname |
+-----------------+----------+----------+
| BackendServerIP | Papercut | mything  |

I had thought to change the 'localhost' in config.xml to 'papercut',
but then it complains that it cannot log into the mythconverg with:
