Hi,

I am trying to run the MySQL DB on a Linux machine that is part of a home
LAN (IP=192.168.0.3), while trying to access it from another WinXP machine
(IP=192.168.0.5). I keep getting the following error:

MySQL Error Number 1130
#HY000Host '192.168.0.5' is not allowed to this MySQL server

Ping works fine.

On searching the internet, I find reference to "allow list" hidden somewhere
in the guts of MySQL. Can anyone provide me hints on how to add to this
list?

Thanks!
SB
