Hello again, refering to my previous question I forgot to mention that xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is an IP number.
using mysql -h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -u user -puserpassword I would exect to be able to achieve a connection. The user and userpassword I must add are isnerted with grant with TO 'user'@'%' as well as localhost. I can ping the server so the network connection is fine etc. Do I need some option to be able to supply the host as an IP address to the mysql call? Thanks again. Regards.
