For some reason the HDHomeRun is not reachable.  When I exit 
mythtv-setup I see

HDHRChan(101084DE/0), Error: device not found

101084DE is the "device" number on the underside of the HDHomeRun

I got the error after a cold start (unplug power) of the HDHomeRun.

All services seem to be running.

Ben, you have a good memory.  Pinging the IP reveals the tuner is there. 
If I run arp, however, it only shows the connection to the router.  It 
used to show the HDHomeRun tuner.

In addition I have run the program from silicondust
#./hdhomerun_config discover       
# no devices found

#./hdhomerun_config 101084DE scan /tuner0 channel0.txt
# unable to connect to device

Hmm, I was able to do this before...

Firewall settings!  As an experiment I temporarily shut off the firewall 
and was able to connect to the HDHR.  It looks like the firewall 
settings got changed somehow.  How is that possible?  (I know, I know, 
somehow it must have been me.)  How do I do I change the firewall 
settings in FC6?

I want the firewall to be set for eth1 which connects to the outside 
world, and not set for eth0 which is directly connected to the 
HDHomeRun.  If someone can give me a hint, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks
