Hi All,

alhough it is a very simple problem, i just couldn't get rid of it, and neither could find any helpful explanation in Mysql documents. Please ignore my question if you don't want to answer. the problem is: on my pc i have a mysql installed , also on our company's server , there is another one installed, both are version 3.23.45. i can use both of them without any problem locally. However, i want to use server's mysql, instead of mine, since my PC is already full, and our server is much more faster than my PC. So , during development i want to access our server's MySQL through my PC's mysql. But, whenever i try to connect to server's mysql, i am having error:

mysql -h 211.20.38.118 -u root;

ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on '211.20.38.118' (10060)

i also tried creating a user on the server mysql, then try connecting via this username like below;

mysql -h 211.20.38.118 -u myusername -pmypassword;

but without success. What mistake i am making? Both my PC and our server is Win 2000. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance Regards :)
