My suggest stems from Linux, but I believe Windows might have something similar going on. Latest version of MySQL at least will by default bind itself to &quot;localhost&quot; (loopback interface) instead of &quot;0.0.0.0&quot; (all available interfaces) as a security measure. This setting can be changed from within my.cnf (my.ini, whatever:) with setting &quot;bind-address&quot; (which is under section &quot;mysqld&quot;).

Everything works great from the localhost, but remote connections get an error like &quot;MySQL Connection is not allowed from host, YOURHOST&quot;<br />
<br />
Obviously I'm missing a config of some sort, this is a fresh install of 5.0.45 on Windows Server 2003 32-bit.<br />
<br />
Thanks for any help with what I need to do/add/configure/etc
