Greets all, 

I'm trying to connect the mythfrontend on my wife's machine to the new
backend I put on my server.

<------begin example------>
$ mythfrontend
Unable to connect to database!
Driver error was [1/-1]:
QMYSQL3: Unable to connect
Database error was:
Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.1.100' (111)

couldn't open db
<------end example------>

I used the mandrake 9.1 rpm's for mythtv and mythfrontend as it's only
frontend I didn't think I needed the backend.

I'm using webmin to edit the database, should I use commandline? I've no
idea how via commandline.

Thanks.
