Stan, I don't claim to have any real answers but I had some similar problems when I was getting my laptop linked into my backend server so that I could watch in another room. On my Gentoo systems here mysql is setup to be pretty secure and is not bound to any lan port. I had to change the settings for mysql to tell it to bind to the server's eth0 IP address before I could connect from any other location. Maybe you have something like this going on? Until I could do mysql commands from another machine and talk to the mythconverg database nothing worked correctly. Also the way mysql is setup here I cannot log into the mythconverg database when logged in as root. More security I think. Don't forget that there are mysql commands you have to execute within mysql also to open the database up to your local network. Hope this helps a little. cheers, Mark _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
