Do you have SSH server installed/enabled?
You have it jail broken, right?
Code:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `xbmc_%`.* TO 'xbmc'@'%';
IF you have a mysql problem, find one of the 4 dozen threads already open.

Trying to pull one over on me, are ya! okay okay, I believe you.

You'll need to ssh to the IP address of the ATV2. Sometimes the Bonjour addresses (appletv.local) don't always work. You can get the IP address from either your router or from the ATV2's network settings. It will be a group of four numbers, like 192.168.0.3 or 10.0.0.4, or something like that.

I would suspect that the router's admin panel would be a good place to look. On the ATV2 you can get to the network settings via

Settings ->General -> Network

IP: 198. etc
Subnet: 255 etc

u need the one under IP in ur atv2 settings

u need putty, the IP and make sure you have SSH (port 22) selected to connect AND make sure you have jail-broken your ATV2
