I am having a problem accessing databases on the local machine. The user table is setup as such | % | steve | 42eacf9a6ed6afa4 | N | N | N | N | N | N | N | N | N | N | N | N | N | N | | localhost | steve | 42eacf9a6ed6afa4 | N | N | N | N | N | N | N | N | N | N | N | N | N | N | the host table is empty and I this is the setup of the db table: | % | steve | steve | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | | localhost | steve | steve | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y | server$ mysql -usteve -p steve works server$ myslq -usteve -p steve -h server.domain.org gives an access denied message and connections from other machines work correctly workstation1$ myslq -usteve -p steve -h server.domain.org works workstation2$ myslq -usteve -p steve -h server.domain.org works It was my understanding that the % was a wildcard and that a connections from anywhere would work(which is why workstation1 and workstation2 function correctly). This brings me to the quiestion, why would connections from the localmachine to the ethernet IP addresses not be covered by the wildcards.
