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...
