In addition to the networking issues which look like editing, as root, /etc/hosts.allow and hosts.deny in Debian, once you get into mysql, you need to make sure that no firewall is denying connections on its port, usually 3306 or was it 5432, (as I recall?) , and you also have to, as the mysql user _root_, add records to the mysql.user table which define what users you will allow what access and privileges from what hosts at your mysql server. Err on the side of caution and define access as narrowly as you can and still get the work done. -- Hugh On Sun, 13 Jul 2003, Alex Snow wrote: > Hi all. > How can I alow remote connections to my mysql server?
