Check your $HOME/.mythtv/config.xml and every single mysql.txt on your 
system to see if one is specifying a LocalHostName override, which uses 
the wrong host name.  Also, on startup, your log files should have a 
line that says what host name is being used for each system.  Check to 
ensure they use different names.
