Yes, the actual resolution of how the system is accessed is restricted, usually the accounts are restricted by user@"localhost", however, you can iirc use user@"%" for access from anywhere, as part of the grant statement... you can also change the account's host in the mysql.user table.
Be carefull about using @"%", unless you are behind a firewall and blocking the port used by mysql (3306 by default).. you can change the port to a non-standard port for mysql, but I have had issues with various connection drivers, so, I am just more carefull with my firewall restrictions. -- ======================================================================= Michael J.
