The local mysql.txt file is only used to tell the front-end client which database to contact to obtain MythTV configuration settings. The address of the back-end service is one of those settings. The default back-end address when you install MythTV is set to "127.0.0.1". This means that the client will not be able to connect to the MythTV back-end process unless it's running on the same machine. To correct the situation, you can either login to the back-end GUI as root (#include "standard rant about requiring root to run a GUI.h"), rerun mythtv-setup and specify the back-end's real IP address, or you can connect to the database using the mysql CLI and update the settings table directly. The SQL command would be: update settings set data="192.168.1.2" where value="MasterServerIP"; Of course you would supply a valid IP address...
