[mythtv-users] 0.19 - local frontend working great , remote frontend not (localhost:6543)

Hi,
   With folks help (THANKS!) and a few recompiles I managed to get the
0.19 server upgrade done and working yesterday. As a test I had the
backend record 18 jobs yesterday afternoon and evening using both
tuners. (PVR-150 & PVR-250) It appears that all recorded correctly.
Great results. Thanks again to those that helped.

   My last problem now is to get my remote frontends to connect. They
currently do not connect to the backend server, but they are able to
connect to the mysql server. For instance here is remote frontend on
Lightning connecting to backend server dragonfly @ 192.168.1.55. MySQL
connects, but when the frontend want to access listing info it is
asking for localhost:6543 not 192.168.1.55:6543. Why? All my 4 of my
remote frontends are acting this way right now.

   My question is where is mythfrontend getting this instruction to
connect to localhost:6543? Internal to the frontend on Lightning it
says the server is at 192.168.1.55 which is Dragonfly's IP address.
I've been searching for a config file that might still have this but I
cannot find it.

mark at lightning ~ $ cat .mythtv/mysql.txt
DBHostName=192.168.1.55
DBUserName=mythtv
DBPassword=mythtv
DBName=mythconverg
DBType=QMYSQL3

   Where else can I look for what is causing this?

Thanks,
Mark
