Did you config mysql to allow connections from other
machines?

Remote front-ends-
Configuring a remote front-end is relatively easy.
There are two steps you need to take on your back-end
machine, followed by a quick edit of a config file and
a breeze through the mythtvsetup utility on the remote
front-end.

1. On your back-end, you need to allow mysql
connections from other hosts on your network. This
example assumes your local area network is
10.0.1.0/255.255.255.0, adjust accordingly for your
network:

$ mysql -u root -p mythconverg
mysql> grant all on mythconverg.* to mythtv@"10.0.1.%"
identified by "mythtv";
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> quit 
2. In the mythtvsetup application on your back-end,
you'll need to make sure you set the variables for "IP
address for <host>" and "Master Server IP address" to
the IP address of the back-end's network card, rather
than the loopback address (127.0.0.1).

3. On your remote front-end system, edit your
/usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt file, and change the
DBHostName variable from localhost to the IP or host
name of your back-end server (the one you just set in
the previous step).

4. In the mythtvsetup application on your front-end,
you'll need to make sure you set the variable for
"Master Server IP address" to the IP address of the
machine you just set in your mysql.txt file.

These are the primary changes that differentiate a
setup with a remote front-end, but you'll also have to
go through the bulk of the rest of the steps detailed
here to get things working. A few of the packages
installed throughout this guide aren't necessary for a
front-end only system, but it won't hurt anything to
install them anyway, so I'm not going to go into what
they are.
