Unfortunately, none of the ideas mentioned seem to be the problem. I set the backend to use a static IP address (<a href="http://192.168.1.5" target="_blank">192.168.1.5</a>) which is the IP address the machine has used for about 18 months now. That is the IP address I have the local frontend that runs on the backend machine set to connect to, and the address I have the remote frontends set to use. They are all connected through a single netgear router that has also worked well, without any changes for months. </div>

<br>So for some reason, the local frontend, which is set to connect to "<a href="http://192.168.1.5" target="_blank">192.168.1.5</a>" (which it's own IP address) with a password of "ZfxL8ncZ" works, but my remote frontend, (sitting on the same router, with an IP address of <a href="http://192.168.1.4" target="_blank">192.168.1.4</a>) set to connect to the backend at "<a href="http://192.168.1.5" target="_blank">192.168.1.5</a>" with the password "ZfxL8ncZ" gives me the error message with a question mark. Not that this eliminates any chance for networking problems, but I can connect the two machines connect via NFS, SSH, and VNC, so I think the network is ok. What else could be causing the problem?<br>

It turns out the problem was that I needed to edit etc/mysql/my.cnf, and change the line <br><pre><font size="2"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">bind-address <a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a> to bind-address <a href="http://192.168.1.5">192.168.1.5</a>.</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
