"DBHostName" in your mysql.txt file shouldn't be the IP Address, but 
"olejl-htpc", I would guess.

Also, if your new front end is just that, there's no need to run mythtv-setup, 
you should just be running mythfrontend and configuring it using the various 
setup menu pages. You should only need to run mythtv-setup if you have a slave 
back end on your new host, assuming, that is, that the goalposts haven't been 
moved in trunk.
