Im about to pull what little hair I have left out. I am trying to connect to a mysql database from my internal network. Using Mandrake 10 and what ever version of MySQL it comes with. I can connect locally to the database but from another machine forget it. I have assigned the Grant all to the user and even from all hosts. I read somewhere that by default networking is desabled in Mysql. I was trying to find the my.cnf but all I have is my-small medium and large.cnf's can someone shed some light on this? Thanks! Mike
