Re: Setting Up Workstation

Now I'm trying to set up a workstation and of course it can't connect on 'Localhost'.

"localhost" is just another way of saying "Here. The machine I'm running on".

On MachineA, where your MySQL instance is running, "localhost" => "MachineA".

On MachineB, where your client application is running, "localhost" => "MachineB".

You need to tell your client application to connect to "MachineB", not "localhost".

Regards, Phill W.
