No problem - just a different type of connection. When you specify "localhost", you're also saying "accept connections through a socket". When you say "%" or some derivation thereof, you're telling the server to accept connections through TCP/IP. > Q2: How can I set default localhost to domain name? I don't believe you can - not for the server, at any rate. For the client, you can twiddle values in my.cnf to suit your needs. / Carsten -- Carsten H.
