I am trying to use MYSQL CLIENT for the first time. I have setup the mysql server and connect to it from my machine using Telnet. But everytime i try to connect using mysql client or through access 2000 i get the following error: Host 'ip address' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server please help and let me know what am i missing. An early response will be appreciated.
