I am having the same problem here. On the local machine MP can connect to the TVserver, but not from a client.

All firewalls are disabled, initial connection to the server works, but no channels are transfered.

I have edited gentle.config on the server:

<DefaultProvider name="SQLServer" connectionString="data source=192.168.1.4\SQLEXPRESS;initial catalog=Test;user id=xxx;password=xxx;packet size=4096" />

...and restarted the SQL server

I still get no picture but only the error message:
2007-01-01 21:39:34.640625 [Info.][MPMain]: Exception :Error: DatabaseUnavailableUnclassified
Gentle.Common.GentleException: The database backend (provider SQLServer) could not be reached.
Check the connection string: Password=tv;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa;Initial Catalog=TvLibrary;Data Source=SERVER\SQLEXPRESS; ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 28 - Server doesn't support requested protocol)

Where can you specify that the SQL server allows remote connections. Could this be the problem?
