To access a MySQL database running on a Linux/Unix computer, users must first configure the database to allow access from remote PCs. For more information, refer to the instructions below.

1. To start, launch a terminal window.
2. Next, run "mysql –uUsername –p".
3. Then, log in and enter the following:
   
   mysql> GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'Username'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
   Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.14 sec)
   mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
   Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.16 sec)
   mysql> \q\
   Bye
   
4. On the Windows PC, install the "mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.12-win32.zip" file from the MySql website.

Note: This will allow the configuration of an ODBC DSN to the MySQL database.
