Each connection is identified by a combination of username & host. So, as far as MySQL is concerned, a user named admin connecting from localhost is a different user to admin connecting from <machinename>. Permissions on the server are set for a combination of username & host. You may find that you have permissions set for admin@localhost but not for admin@<machinename>. If you want the admin user to be able to connect from any machine with the same permissions/password, then try granting privileges for admin@%, e.g:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database.* TO admin@% IDENTIFIED BY password

See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/GRANT.html
