Can anyone help me please with this error? "ODBC -- call failed. [TCX][MyODBC]Host 'mask.cosmorom.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server (#1130)" More details: 1) mask.cosmorom.com - stands for all computers on our network (10.250.1.*) 2) The computer trying to access the MySQL server is running Win2000, MyODBC 2.50 + MS Access 2000. 3) The MySQL server is running RH 7.0 with Nusphere 1.3.18. 4) my.cnf file in /usr/local/nusphere/mysql/ contains the following lines: [client] host = www.cosmorom.com user = root #password = ; no passwd needed port = 3306 socket = /tmp/mysql.sock Should there be any lines added? I've verified and there seems to be no problems regarding firewall rules on our router or Linux box. I may add that on the RH 7.0 box, the "telnet 0 3306" cmd works just fine! Any help would be apreciated! Thx! Vik
