3 hours ago, the OP was asked to run two commands and reported:
nmap --reason -p 3306 192.168.0.222 produces:
PORT STATE SERVICE REASON
3306/tcp closed mysql reset ttl 64
MAC Address: A8:5E:45:E3:5A:9F (Unknown)
mysql --host=192.168.0.222 --user=mythtv --password=<from config.xml>
mythconverg produces:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.0.222' (111
So, it's not a password problem, at least then.
After a suggested bind-address change was done, we
only know that it continues to fail. I haven't seen
the output of the nmap and mysql commands.
