After I ran mythfilldatabase for the umpteenth time I got a channel listing in the Channel Editor. Next, I want to get mythfrontend working on my wife's computer. It will need to use the database and mythbackend on my computer remotely. Is there anything special I need to know to make this work? I've already set up the IP address in mythsetup on my machine to my PC's network address... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
