I've had my best luck with numerical host strings, but I think that is mostly due to the structure of the internal network. You might try checking your permissions tables in the mysql database. One thing I had problems with was getting the quoting right on the grant statement. First time, I ended up with the host name in with the user name, which of course would match nothing. After I fixed it by hand I was able to get in with no problems. HTH -- Joel Rees <joel@alpsgiken.gr.jp>
