OK, I have a small update.  I was able to find out what the password was 
that #3 references above.  I found it in the mysql.txt file in my home 
directory's .mythtv directory.  When I do "mysql -u mythtv -p -h 
192.168.1.200" using that password, it works.  I seems to be some sort 
of default password.  So, if I change that password for safety's sake, 
what else do I have to change on my system to ensure everything runs 
smoothly?

Thanks!
Harry
