MySQL 5.0.2 refuse remote JDBC connection but allow mysql client connection

[zhuomin chen]

Hi, All

This is strange.

When I use mysql client as

mysql -u mfg -ppassword -h 192.168.0.248

server allows connection.

However
using JDBC connection as
"jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/mfg?user=mfg&password=password"

I get connection refused.

Even more bizard, when I switch to root
jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/mfg?user=root&password=password" , it worked.

So Server (MySQL 5.0.2) treats JDBC connection differently from MySQL Client?
