Trying the demo version, MySQL 5.1 works fine by the way, no problems.

But now trying to connect to MySQL 4.1 db,
Host: server31.firstfind.nl
Port: 3306
username: as specified
password: as specified
When trying to connect it says:
Access denied for user @mail.companyname.com (using password: YES)
What is wrong!!

We suggest you to check whether the password you're entering is correct, the '' user exists and have an access from the 'mail.companyname.com' host.

I guess i am a newbie.. username and password are correct but why does the user must 'have an access to the 'mail.companyname.com' host'.?

Sorry for being not quite clear. We meant to check that the '' user exists and have an access from the 'mail.companyname.com' host to the MySQL server 4.1 you're trying to connect to.

Ok, clear, i checked it and 1: the user has [u]no[/u] access from the 'mail.companyname.com' host. and 2: the hosting provider does not support external access to 4.1 db's.... so it is not going to work i guess. Close this topic and thanks for your support.
