mysql odbc not connecting between 2 win7 pro systems

This is a new installation.
on a lan, 2 win7 pro desktops with 64bit os. One system has Wamp with mysql databases, essentially being used as a server. the other win7 runs ms access app with odbc to frontend the mysql. With mysql odbc installed on both, I'm still unable to connect. This same app connects odbc to a web server on the lan ok

Hi!

You will need to open port 3306  (default mysql port) for inbound connections on the WAMP Win machine.

Kimputer, Tom:

3306 is open in the firewall, anywhere else?
I'm still getting the error "Connection failed [hy000]mysql odbc 5.1 host 'adminstation02' is not allowed to connect to this server"
