If you try a manual connection:
	mysql -h sqlserveraddress -D mythconverg -u mythtv -p
(and provide the password, 'mythtv' by default) you might get an informative
error.

Your mysql permissions might not be allowing the user mythtv@{address of
mythbox}. Note that it might be identifying the address of the mythbox by IP
or by DNS, depending on whether or not you've established reverse DNS on
your network.

	I currently have mysql and myth running on the same box, but would
prefer to 
have mysql running on a separate box since I want to use it for other 
databases besides myth.

	However, I can't seem to get myth to connect to the database if I
use 
anything but localhost.  I have a CNAME in my DNS that points 
db.home.thedynaplex.net to any system I want to run mysql on and would
prefer 
to use that instead of having to have mysql running on the frontend box.

	I am going to build a 'set top' box for the myth backend, which will
have 
every wireless setup I can get into it (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, IrDA, plus
standard 
wired networking.

	Any help?
