When you uninstall MP, it leaves some things behind. So for a complete uninstall, you should do this:
Run the MP uninstaller.
Run the MySql uninstaller.
Go to the "ProgramData", and "Program Files" folders, and delete all folders that have "Team MediaPortal" or "MySQL" in the name.
Reboot.

This sounds like firewall or antivirus software getting in the way. I don't use any on my HTPC, so I am not sure what to suggest. You could try disabling the firewall/antivirus before installing MP, and see if that makes a difference. I think that the installer should configure the firewall/antivirus to allow communication between TV Server and the MP client, but perhaps there is something unusual about your setup.
