This works: c:\my_mysql_path\bin\mysql -u root -p -h 10.0.0.180.

I use Mysql administrator 1.1.5 , but where can i set it so i can connect
from a host in
objdc.Open "Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}; Server=localhost; Port=3306;
Option=0; Socket=; Stmt=; Database=mydb; Uid=root; Pwd=xxx"

Thanks
Chris
