I almost always set up connections with IP addresses and not host names. &nbsp;Check the user privileges that you are trying to use to make sure that &quot;computer-name&quot; is allowed to connect.<br />
<br />
I don't know of any reason to share &quot;C:/Mysql&quot;. &nbsp;That does not enable remote computers to connect to the database.

Thank you Dave<br />

Actually I already test it with IP addresses and the same result.

I just wanted to share the same data base with laptops outside the office but just for 2 hours, so I did it locally on three laps.<br />

Hi guys,<br />
<br />
We still have some applications that runs old MySQL data bases and until some time ago we didn't have any problems to use them.<br />
<br />
We are using:<br />
<br />
WinMySQLadmin 1.4<br />
MySQL Control Center 0.9.4<br />
MyODBC 3.51<br />
<br />
I already share the C:/Mysql folder<br />
<br />
This time I'm using a workgroup and I can see all the computers, the problem is when I try to test the connection with myODBC and this error appears:<br />
<br />
Host &quot;computer-name&quot; is not allowed to connect to this MySQL Server<br />
<br />
Thank you so much in advance !!!

MySQL is an open source, relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Acquired by Oracle in 2009, it is frequently used in combination with PHP installations, powering most of the WordPress installations.
