Does: ping hostname.as.listed.in.hosts.file correctly resolves to the IP address as listed in the HOSTS file? If it does then you probably haven't setup the permissions correctly in MySQL. You need to use the GRANT command to allow connections from user@xxxxxxxxxxxxx See MySQL docs for info. If your IP address is not going to change over time then for practical purposes there will be no difference whether you connect using IP address or hostname. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-db ------------------------------------------ /* It is not every question that deserves an answer. -- Publilius Syrus */ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
