Are you specifying either the socket or the host/port combination? What types of error messages are you getting
-----Original Message----- From: Daniel Shriver To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 5/10/04 3:24 PM Subject: authentication problem on non-standard port I am having problems authenticating to a machine where there are two database instances running. The instance which listens on the standard port allows me to authenticate correctly whereas the instance listening on the non-standard port only works: if I am on the same box as the database; or if I use an old user account (which I did not set up and cannot find out how it was set up). I have done repeated grant commands (and they seem to work for the instance listening to the standard port) both 'on *' (with no database specified) and 'on *.*' (both of which should give those users global permissions). Likewise, I redid the grant commands after connecting to the database on the nonstandard port.
