[mythtv-users] Remote frontend not working - Mythbuntu Control Centre option greyed out?

I am trying to get a remote frontend to connect to a Mythbuntu 7.1
combined frontend/backend.  MySQL is working as MythTV works fine

However, when I load Mythbuntu Control Centre - System Services the
dropdown that allows you to enable MySQL service on the Ethernet
interface is greyed out.

Doing a search on the web a few people have reported this but the only
solution appears to be reinstall until it works.  Does anyone know of
anything else I can do?

I have tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database answering as
appropriate but when I try to connect from the remote frontend
directly from a mysql prompt it still says no mysql at that host.
Clearly something is not being allowed through?

My Remote Frontend is currently Mythbuntu run direct from the install
DVD just for testing at the moment.

Anyone got any ideas?

TIA
