[mythtv-users] remote frontend connection problems

[Brian Wallen]

I've just installed a brand new backend server.  When I run mythfrontend on 
the backend server, it connects and everything is great.  However, when I 
try to connect a remote frontend to the backend, it doesn't work.  I've 
searched all over and still havent found the answer to this.  My mysql 
database has the right permissions.  I set them, then I looked them up and 
it said that mythtv had the rights on 192.168.0.%, which is correct. I have 
commented out the skip-networking part of the my.cnf file, or whichever file 
it was, I can't remember right now.  Here is the error I get when I try to 
run the remote mythfrontend.
