[mythtv-users] mythfrontend client can't connect to database on the backend server

Hello

There is no other mysql.txt file.

So, I tried adding a symbolic link ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt -> ~/mysql.txt but
doesn't work either.

I decided to analyze traffic with ethereal from the client.

When I try using mysql client, I can see frames going to my mythtvbox. But,
when I launch the frontend, no traffic to my mythtvbox from the network
device (eth2) of the client.

I don't know what's wrong.

Regards.
