hi michael. no real magic. on the mysql db, you need to ensure that you've granted the 'user' for the db/tbl the correct privileges for the db/table. the 'grant' function allows you to set the db, table, user, passwd, port, host attributes. check the mysql docs for the precise command usage. once you've set this, you're pretty much good to go. you'd simply use your mysql client, and specify the parameters you've specified in the grant process for your given db/tbl... -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Michael Satterwhite Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2006 6:56 AM To: For users of Fedora Subject: Can't connect to MySQL from remote computer on network I'm running MySQL on Fedora and need to connect to the server from a Windows computer on the LAN.
