[mythtv-users] Problem connecting frontend

[Andrew Robinson]

I'm trying to connect a remote frontend. When I run 'mythfrontend', I 
get the following error messages. The second paragraph repeats many 
times until I'm eventually kicked out of X. (That's right, the sequence 
ends with the nVidia splash screen.) I tried running 'mythtvsetup' with 
the same results. I've got port 3306 open on both the frontend and the 
backend, so I don't think it is a firewall issue. Anyone know what I 
haven't set?
