<div>Check the logs. Be sure of a couple things:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. mythtv-setup on the slave backend has the *IP address*of the master backend properly populated</div>
<div>2. mythtv-setup on the master backend has it's own IP listed properly (not <a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a>)</div>
<div>3. You are *not* running mysqld on your slave backend/frontend. Many distributions include this by default and it can result in you connecting to a local database by mistake.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But most importantly, you should check the /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log on the slave to see what it says.</div>
