Re: Server List

mod_backhand is a peer-based system... peers don't like each other when 
they aren't peers.  Make sure _all_ your systems are configured the 
same.  It is _possible_ to have different configurations, but that is 
advanced and you're on your own.

Do an ifconfig on your boxes and make sure that 192.168.0.255 is indeed 
your broadcast address. Review your ipfw/iptables/ipf rules to make 
sure you aren't blocking udp broadcasts to those addresses.  And make 
sure that in the /backhand/ page you are seeing the "right" IP 
addresses -- if you aren't you need to fix your machine "identity 
problem" or use the two parameter version of MulticastStats

Don't use addresses that aren't on your network.  Delete the above and 
keep the one below.

You need AcceptStats here.
