Michael:
It could be that MySQL is only listening on localhost (127.0.0.1) and not
your net IP. Check your network settings in your server config. Alternately,
you can also do a
netstat -anp | grep mysql
As root and see where it is listening.

Hi,
dig should be in /usr/bin but its possible it isn't installed
I'm not sure about PcLinuxOS but it's in the dnsutils package on
debian/Ubuntu.
As you said earlier, it's not necessary to use dig to check the ip address.
Ping does the job.
Also, after you change DB/User permissions with GRANT statements it's often
necessary to do a 'FLUSH PRIVILEGES;'
This I didn't know.. I just tried it, though, and it makes no difference.
It's also entirely possible that Photon resolves to 127.0.0.1 in which case
you will need GRANT for 'michael'@'localhost'
Is the name pho

What user are you at the time you are running these tests. Would I be
correct in guessing 'root'?
The reason localhost works is because, in some distros, root is
enabled localhost with no password .. which is dangerous enough..
granting root@'% would be an invitation to disaster..
From that same command line, what do you get for
$ dig photon
You likely want to make a grant suitable rfor that network address for
the user you are trying to use.

This sounded good, but
dig photon returns command not found
I logged onto the server as root and issued the command:
grant all privileges on *.* to 'michael'@'%' identified by ;
(??? is the password, in quotes, of course). It responded
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
I still can't connect via
mysql -h photon -u michael -p??
Still
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'photon'
