Hi Gokce, You can check the following (especially the second one);
1. Make sure that you have provided a password to root account on the server box; grant all on * to 'root'@'%' identified by 'your_root_password'; % here means that you can login to your server box as root from any host. However you must provide a difficult to guess password for security reasons because you have added any host with login permission. You may instead only add your client IP replacing with %. 2. Possibly you didn't active the client box's ethernet interface. Make sure pinging from client box is replied from the server box. I wish these above may help you.. If you want to administer you MySQL servers from Windows boxes I may suggest two powerful tools you to search; 1. EMS MySQL Manager 2. M2D - MySQL Database Admin v2.2 Murat. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
