Well from a totally new person using mysql i was able to install mysql on my pc. But now i want to use Toad to connect to mysql from another pc on our home network. I have created a new user as someuser@ipAddressOfSecondPc and granted all privileges. Then i open port 3306 on the PC with mysql. However when i try to connect i get Access denied for user 'someuser'@'ipAddressOfSecondPc' (using password: YES).
I've google and searched for a solution. I've read some other solutions to similar issues but with no luck. Any help would be appreciated. So basically i just want to connect from either PC in our home network.
I use OS Win 7 and the local database is hooked without problems, but when I want to connect to database server on another site - there is a problem. All the parameters we set, but it definitely can not connect without a problem.
- MySQL is running on the ipAddressOfFirstPc? Telnet ipAddressOfFirstPc 3306 - On first pc, can you connect on the IP (not localhost or 127.0.0.1)? - Check (in mysql/user database/table) that "someuser" has in the host value "%", meaning anywhere. - If MySQL is running in "localhost" (127.0.0.1) rather than the IP, adjust my.ini to configure that.
