I just installed a fresh copy of Mythbuntu 12.04. I installed it as a combined frontend and backend. I ran through the configurations, accepting all defaults except for two items:

• I set the hostname to the server's IP


• I checked the checkbox to enable network remote controls

I then rebooted. When I try to connect via mythmote, I get "connection refused" and "connection timed out" errors. What I have done to diagnose the issue:

• Reboot


• Re-run configuration without changing any settings


• Disable IPv6 (ala /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6)


• Disable ufw


• Run Wireshark, which reports that a TCP SYN arrives at the server, and the server sends a TCP RST in response. Prior to disabling ufw the server would not even send the TCP RST

The settings I have for mythmote are:

• Name: Gamma (this is my third server)


• Address: 10.0.0.14


• Port 6546


• MAC: (Not filled in, I don't need WOL)

If I switch to a TTY on the server, I can telnet 127.0.0.1 6546 and get to the network remote control interface. If I try the same via telnet 10.0.0.14 6546 I get a connection refused.
