I want to use mysql for my storage in Amarok.  I have created a db

get my other workstations to connect to the server.  I have tried 
typing in the name of the server and I have tried using the actual ip 
address of that machine and it won't work.  I have checked and made 
sure that the user connecting to the database is allowed to connect 
from any source and still nothing.

I have also tried connecting to the MySQL server using MySQLAdmin from 
my laptop and I can't figure that out either.  Anyone know how to do 
this?

Well I found the answer to this finally.  It appears that in MySQL's 
config file there is a line bind-address 127.0.0.1.  Well I wanted it to 
be bound to more than one address, but it doesn't appear that you can do 
that. (If someone knows how, please let me know. :) ).  So I just 
commented out that particular line and all is working as planned.
