I'm a very beginner in using mysql.... and i have a problem... So i have a database in mySql, I connected myself to it through java, and if I use as the host the "localhost" then everything goes well. In the moment I try to connect myself remotely, i encounter problems. So on the same computer, if in the url i don't write "jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydatabase", but i write "jdbc:mysql://192.168.0.5/mydatabase" , so I use an ip adress, or instead of the ip adress I write the name of the machine on whihc the Mysql is (eg: xenon), then I receive an error like: - access denied for user "@xenon" do database mydatabase So I thought that I have to add users to the mysql, with privileges...but until now i hadn't succeded to make my application go.. So please help me somebody, who encountered this problem and has the solution... many thankx.... xenon (emil jurj) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
