Hi,

It seems dat a lot of people have this problem and I have seen a lot of discussions about it. But I'm still struggling after 30 hours of trials and nothing works.. From my service provider I received a login, password and a data base name:

user: foodnews.be host: foodnews.be password: xxx data base: information

I can start MySQL (in DOS) and create a data base on my machine. But I also want to connect to my shared host. If I type: mysql -h foodnews.be -u foodnews.be -p; and then enter the password I don't get a connection. I always get the message that access is denied for user food@DSE04027.kabel.telnet.be (error 1045). Why is the user changed from food@foodnews.be changed to food@DSE04027.kabel.telnet.be ? Apparently it's creating a new user. There's a mix-up with username of the data base and that of my local computer. I know you should grant permissions etc. but then you first have to be able to connect to the remote data base server.

Can someone please help?How can I connect to my data base on my remote shared host server?
