Hi!
First of all, send data on the version of MySQL, on the make and
version of OS and versions of C and thread libs. Use it preferably
with mysqlbug script.
When you connect from other machines, you must have either a user with
privileges to connect from any host, which is designated by '%' char
in host field of user table, or you have entered a host name or ip
into the host table.
Beside that, your TCP/IP should be well setup with BIND or duly
maintained /etc/hosts file.
