Hey guys, I have MySQL 5 installed on my computer. I can access it via localhost and all.. I forwarded ports 3306, on all my firewalls.. Now, the question is, How do I set up MySQL 5 to allow connections from my x10hosting account? Thanks guys. =D

Do you have a static IP address?

Umm I'm sorta confused by static and dynamic, But It does not change. I've had the same IP for over 6 months. That's as far as I can remember.

Ok, PM me your IP address and I will add it to the firewall.

Yes, or use 'stoli.x10hosting.com'.

Although I don't recommend on using root for regular databases.

Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 21
Server version: 5.0.45-community-nt MySQL Community Edition (GPL)

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> grant all on *.* to mangos@'stoli.x10hosting.com' identified by '<mangospasshere>';

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.16 sec)

mysql>

That's what I get via the console. Is all that info correct? If so, I get this error message from my script:

Could not connect: Host '74.86.116.188' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

Btw, are there like Google Addsence codes instead of the

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://x10hosting.com/adserve.js?advanced"></script>

codes? *<.< I don't want people knowing I'm using free hosting, but I will if its 100% necessary..*
