connecting from other computer

Hi

I'm using mysql-server 4.0.13-3 on Debian.
I wish to be able to connect to that server using a mysql frontend from my
other computer, which is a Win32 box. However, when I try "telnet
192.168.1.40 3306" on the win32 box, or "telnet localhost 3306" on the host
box, I get connection refused.

Can someone give me, or point me to a step-by-step explaination on how this
is achieved?

Thanks
Bart

On the Debian, go to admin >mysql dbname
Enter "Grant" command specifying the Win32 box. Eg.

mysql> grant read on *.* to winuser@winipad dress identified by winpw

where
winuser is just a username
winipaddress is the IP Address of the windows machine
winpw is some password.
then on the Win32 box connect using that username and password eg.
say the user is remuser and password=pwpwpw and the Debian box is ip=1.2.3.4
and the database name is somedata.
then on windows

mysql -u remuser -p pwpwpw so******@1.2.3. 4

If using ODBC on the windows box, still use that ip, dbname, dbuser and
dppassword

Careful on the Grant command, to specify enough to restrict access.

For example "Grant all on *.* to fred identified by fredpw opens up connects
to (All IPs everywhere)

Hi Folks, We have a DB2 database on a WAN at work. I want to access the database from some Visual Basic for Applications code that I have written at work.

I assume that this intermediary computer would be whats called a SQL server?
