Hi, I'm new to MySQL. I've installed MySQL on bothWin2000 and Solaris 2.8 machines. Everything locally works fine. When I tried to connect from the Win2000 (dhcp-70-219) machine to the Solaris machine I get the following error: "ERROR 1130: Host 'dhcp-70-219' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server" I have added the hostnames and ip addresses to both /etc/hosts files. And can ping each other. Any ideas (ERROR: 1130) ? thanks, Kerry --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
