did you ever run mythtv-setup to configure the backend?

Every network device has its own unique MAC address, like a fingerprint. When you find each of the necessary MAC addresses, you can combine them with one of the available IP addresses in the DHCP pool. Those are the addresses that are issued to your network devices by your router.

Been researching more and found this: http://blog.rectorsquid.com/static-ip-on-att-nvg510/
I am having a hard time due to several authors saying AT&T provides 8 static addresses. The only thing I can find is DHCPv4 Start Address with the last number being .64 and DHCPv4 End Address being .253. where are these 8 static addresses I still have a little hair on my head...
Does this need to be done before installing a MythTv backend?
Thanks,
M

ATT hardware may be neutered in a way.

Just use 127.0.0.1 (which is the loop-back address and means 'connect back to this pc') and leave all the port settings alone. You seem to be at cross-purposes here, with @Klojum talking about internal IP addresses whereas @mrgta67 seems to be talking about external IP addresses (based upon his comment of "several authors saying AT&T provides 8 static addresses"). They will be external so that you can access your kit from the wider internet and are not needed for this.YESSSSSSSSS and thank you!!! I DON'T know what I was/am talking about, BUT I believe you are on the right track. The guide I was working off https://gist.github.com/dataBaseError/f3...e6dfa2f8b0 stated one had to "1. In the router define a static IP address for the computer" I did what you said I did in your post (first installing Kodi and then the Mythtv pvr add-on ) and mythTV wouldn't even run...I now believe I can actually get this installed...BELIEVE...is the operative word.
Also, (and I can't review the first page of the thread to know if I've remembered correctly!!) but you should be installing the 'mythtv' package, as opposed to 'mythtv-backend'. The backend package does not install or set up the database for you whereas the full mythtv package does, including installing MySql and any other required dependencies. It also installs the mythtv-frontend. Once it's all installed, run/usr/bin/mythtv-setup
to start the setup.
[V28]
Local Backend = 127.0.0.1
Master Backend = 127.0.0.1
Security Pin = 0000
[V29]
Security Pin = 0000
Listen on all IP addresses = checked
Primary IP address / DNS name = 127.0.0.1
This server is the Master Backend = checked
Don't change any of the port numbers and then continue with configuring your locale settings (tv broadcast type, channel frequency table, etc).

If you install V30, then the settings are the same as the V29 ones I posted earlier. If you want to install a different version (28 or 29) then change the number after mythbuntu/ in the add-apt-repository line above. Version 29 is /0.29 Version 28 is /0.28
