Hello there

I just finished installing mysql 5 on my linux server and I reset the root 
password as an initial post-install setting.
now that i try to connnect from other machines in the network I always get a 
message similar to the following:

C:\Documents and Settings\msentissi>mysql -u root -h 192.168.3.60
ERROR 1130 (00000): Host '192.168.3.10' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL
server

I looked for the my.cnf file and it is nowhere to be found ? some guidance please.
Thanks

The password you changed only gives you local access.

Log in to your linux server via SSH or directly at the machine. Then log in to mysql as root with your given password (mysql -u root -p).
Then execute something like this:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO msentissi@"192.168.3.10" identified by "yourpassword";

This will allow you to login from your Windows machine. You may also want to add "with grant option" to the line above, which will give you full administrator privileges on the mysql server.
