As far as I can tell mpc is low-level enough to not care about what
Network Manager advertises. I'm suspecting it does have something to do
with DNS, so I'd suggest you pick a name for your machine and make sure
you adjust your configs as follows (assuming your machine's name is
'mpdserver'):
/etc/hostname:
mpdserver
/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 mpdserver
(you can also use the lan IP here if it is fixed and enabling the IPv6
entries could also help)
mpd.conf:
bind_to_address "localhost"
If you make all these changes it's probably a good idea to reboot. If
mpc still can't connect please post the output of:
getent hosts localhost
getent hosts mpdserver # or whatever you named it
netstat -plant | grep mpd
with and without Network Manager running.
Kind regards,
Andrei
