Connect to MySql over Airport Wireless LAN I have installed MySql on a Mac Mini that I want to use as a dev database server. I have created a toy database on the server. I have created a wireless network using Airport. I now want to connect to the database from a MySql client on my Macbook Air. I am using the root user with no security at all (hey, it's a toy database), but cannot connect as the Macbook is not allowed to connect.

What do I need to do to configure my WLAN so that the client can see the server?
Open terminal.
Type ifconfig
Find something like inet 192.168.1.100 netmask
192.168.1.100 is local ip of your machine in your WLAN. You can connect to mysql using this ip.
