Hi Frank,

It's just a safety thing, MySQL user accounts are user@host based (not just user) and by default non-local root (mysql adminitration) account does not allow remote access.

Using the MySQL Administrator locally, create a root@'%' (with a password, of course) or more specifically you can even use root@'192.168.1.%' to keep things within a certain subnet.

Regards, Arjen.
