Request help getting myself setup with my website host. They offer mySQL but do not know very much about it and we seem to be stuck. the error I am getting is this: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) where "userid" is my userid and "xx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is my dynamic IP The webmaster & I have tried setting my Hostname as "%" for mySQL to accept my login from anywhere, buy still not working. The webmaster also says it looks like the Reverse DNS is not working, however my local ISP does have a REVERSE DNS server and they do generally run a fairly standard operation, as does my web host is using Red Hat Linux. BTW, I am on a Win98 machine, trying to connect vie mySQLgui. I also get the same error msg connecting via myOBDC. Help appreciated. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
