VB + Mysql

[oonej]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to connect to a MYSQL server. Its at my domain name, and I access it just fine on my personal pc, but when I run it on other computers i get some crazy can't connect errors...

I've tried google'ing it but came up empty handed. If you guys know a quick solution or another means of storing data so I can access on my domain (after I use the program) I would greatly appreciate it.

other types of data storage is fine too, but wanting internet capabilities, hense the mysql

any ideas?

1) Can you connect to the machine running the MySQL at all (e.g. on port 80)?
2) Have you configured the MySQL server to allow non-local connections?

i figured it out..

my problem was the MySql.Data.dll file wasn't in the main directory.. had to switch it to local and supply the exe with the dll file and now all is working fine :)
