I just ran mythfilldatabase to see if everything looked like it usually
did.  At the end of the run I saw this:

2011-10-26 14:41:39.486 MythContext: Connecting to backend server:
192.168.2.3:6543 (try 1 of 1)
2011-10-26 14:41:39.486 Connection to master server timed out.
			Either the server is down or the master server settings
			in mythtv-settings does not contain the proper IP address

In mythtv-setup I have:

Local Backend (camille) section IP Address 127.0.0.1

Master Backend section IP Address 192.168.2.3

Is that not correct?
