I am running apache and mysql 5.0 on my laptop. The ip address for my laptop is 182.158.0.127. I've tested and have made sure the mysql server is running on my laptop.
I want to access the mysql database (on my laptop) from my desktop that is connected to my laptop via a LAN. The address to my laptop over the LAN is \\FRANKLAPTOP.
Using ipconfig, I can see that the ip address for my laptop is 182.158.0.127
When I configure the mysql ODBC connector, I use 182.158.0.127 as the server name, but his does not seem to work as when I test the connection via the "test" button on the ODBC connector, I get the following message: "Request returned with SQL_ERROR"
I have also tried;
\\182.158.0.127
\\182.158.0.127:3306
\\182.158.0.127/localhost
\\FRANKLAPTOP
I have also tried all the above but used forward slashes //
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Frank
