Hi,
I am using VMware (v 1.3) and I have Windows 7 as a host (with public IP) and Ubuntu (10.10) as a guest OS (with private IP that is assigned by VMware 192.xxx.xxx.xxx).
in Ubuntu, I have a mysql server that I can access it from the localhost (ubuntu) with no problems.
Now, I have a separate (remote) machine that I want to connect to the mysql server on the ubuntu VMware.
the command I am using from the remote machine:
mysql -u UserName –h WindowsIP –p
But I can't connect:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on WindowsIP
the windows firewall is off.
I can ping, access the remote machine from the Ubuntu box itself, but I can't do it the way around
so basically I can ssh or mysql:
Ubuntu (Vmware)---->remote machine (Ubuntu)
but I can't:
remote machine -->windows7---->Ubuntu (VMware)--->Mysql
and this is what I am trying to achieve here.
I appreciate any help,
turki
