MySQL 5.0.12, P2P Microsoft network I cannot get the manual's instructions (24.1.9.6) to work for connecting from a mysql client on a windows machine to a mysql server running on another windows machine (xp and w2kpro repsectively)
The client machine can ping the server machine by name or IP address. One each machine, a local client successfully connects to the local mysql server as localhost. In mysql server on the w2k box, a client row in mysql.user has been created with: user=the exact value used in the ODBC Admin dialog password=the exact value used in the ODBC Admin dialog Host=name of the machine being used as a client 'skip-networking' is not set on either machine. But when ODBCAdmin (3.51) is used to create a DSN on the winxp machine for connecting to the mysql server on the w2k machine, clicking 'Test Data Source' yields this error: Host 'XPBOX' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server'. (Oddly, the mysql server capitalizes the name of the winxp box. Why does it do that?) Issuing the command telnet w2kbox 3306 on the xpbox also produced this same error message. This ought to be simple. What's the secret? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
