Restarted but failed. This on the client:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ mysql -h xena -u mythtv -p mythconverg
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'gypsy' (using
password: YES)

So the client (gypsy) is still looking for a local connection even though
the "-h xena" flag is in the command and xena is in /etc/hosts (my home
network is too small to justify DNS -- is that a problem here?).

Why do you think this? The message clearly tells you that the connection is being rejected for the user mythtv with the client running on gypsy. I see no indication that says it is trying to connect to gypsy. The question is, WHICH machine is rejecting the connection? So how do you know that the message is coming from gypsy trying to make a connection to localhost instead of the connection trying to be made to xena and being rejected there?

A quick check would be to disconnect xena from the network and try the test again from gypsy and see if you get the same error message.

A better test would be to run a packet sniffer (Wireshark, previously known as Ethereal) on gypsy to see what is going on in the network.
