Connecting to Databases

I know that this message is more related to MySQL than PHP but I don't know of a good MySQL board. This board is VERY active and useful. As most of us, I use a variety of programs to produce my HTML/PHP/MySQL. I have run into this problem several times on a variety of programs so thought I'd post and see if anyone had the answer. I have found that it is not uncommon when trying to connect to a database on an Apache server to get a return similar to "Access denied for user: username@IPAddress". I just ran into this problem because I wanted to use SQLyog to manipulate a table that already exists on one of my servers. I went to the "Connections" document that Dreamweaver creates and copied all of the connection info (host, db, user, password) exactly into the connection dialogue of SQLyog. The error message above was returned when I tried to connect although I can connect Dreamweaver to the database without problem even though the IPAdress is not listed as part of the username.
