[mythtv-users] remote mythfrontend not connecting again

I know I've forgotten something stupid, but here's what happened.

I rebuilt my production backend with the Debian 12 server and restored my
mythconverg database and all my recording files. It's running fine. I use
Leanfront on a FIreTV 4K Max stick so I know the backend is okay.

The v35~Pre-master mythtv software was installed using mythtv-light per the
github readme. It was built with the default cmake.

However on my LM22.1 laptop mythfrontend will not connect. That software
was installed via the ppa:mythbuntu/35

I have the mariadb.conf.d files:

$ cat mariadb.conf.d/80-mythtv.cnf

[mysqld]
bind-address = *
max-connections = 100


$ cat mariadb.conf.d/80-mythconverg.cnf

# Disable Binary logging for the mythconverg database. Binary logging
# for all databases was off by default prior to MySQL V8.

[mysqld]
binlog-ignore-db = mythconverg

My config.xml is:
<Configuration>
  <LocalHostName>my-unique-identifier-goes-here</LocalHostName>
  <Database>
    <PingHost>false</PingHost>
    <Host>192.168.68.40</Host>
    <UserName>mythtv</UserName>
    <Password>mythtv</Password>
    <DatabaseName>mythconverg</DatabaseName>
    <Port>3306</Port>
  </Database>
  <WakeOnLAN>
    <Enabled>false</Enabled>
    <SQLReconnectWaitTime>0</SQLReconnectWaitTime>
    <SQLConnectRetry>5</SQLConnectRetry>
    <Command>echo 'WOLsqlServerCommand not set'</Command>
  </WakeOnLAN>
  <UPnP>
    <UDN>
      <MediaRenderer>b2a70db5-92a8-46cc-9971-e65bceec4741</MediaRenderer>
    </UDN>
  </UPnP>
</Configuration>

I copied it from the backend where I can run mythfrontend I just put in the
correct IP.

I use the non unique password of mythtv,

Any ideas where I screwed up?
