Connecting to MySQL over a LAN

Hi,

I have installed MySQL 5.1.47 on "ComputerA".

I can connect to it very well using localhost.


My Q:

How can I connect to it from "ComputerB"?

What's the host name?


Thanks
Andy

A little background info:

ComputerA: Windows 7; 64 bit
ComputerB: Windows 7; 32 bit
I'm using Navicat and I can connect to MySQL on my website with both computers.
I've tried using 192.168.1.xx as "host" name.
ComputerA & ComputerB can share files etc.
ComputerB can ping ComputerA
I'm using the standard Windows firewall on ComputerA.
I have downloaded PUTTY, but I have no idea how to use it.

Thanks
