[mythtv-users] Remote frontend can't connect

[Mark Covington]

#1, yes I RTFM, and I still can't make it work.

192.168.1.101(markcov) - remote frontend
192.168.1.102(shuttle) - backend w/local frontend

Remote Frontend
==============
$ cat /usr/local/share/mythtv/mysql.txt
DBHostName=192.168.1.102
DBUserName=mythtv
DBPassword=mythtv
DBName=mythconverg

Backend
==============
mysql> select * from settings where value like "Backend%";
+-------------------+---------------+----------+
| value             | data          | hostname |

+-----------------------+---------------+----------+


But I still keep getting the error message:

2004-04-23 22:50:10 Connecting to backend server: localhost:6543 (try 1 
of 1)
Connection timed out.
You probably should modify the Master Server settings
in the setup program and set the proper IP address.

This makes me think that my backend thinks there is another master 
backend and its telling the remote frontend that its address is 
"localhost", so it can't connect of course.

Its finding the database on the backend and connecting fine (I can read 
data from the EPG w/ lots of can't contact backend server warning 
messages).  It just seem to belive that its talking to the master 
backend I guess.

So what am I missing?
