Thread: MySQL Connector/ODBC won't connect to internal network

i've got mysql connector/odbc 5.1 installed on windows vista laptop. have mysql 5.5.19 installed on laptop, , able connect via windows data source administrator app , mysql connector/odbc using tcp/ip connection 'localhost'. connect mysql database both via command-line client , via m$ access , excel.

have virtualbox installed lamp server running on host-only network. can connect lamp server via cmd.exe, putty, firefox, etc. i've modified mysql configuration on lamp server accept connections other (its) localhost, , can connect across (virtual) network via mysql command line client.

can't seem create odbc connection mysql database on lamp server host pc. specifically, when type in ip address lamp server on host-only network '192.168.56.101' , click 'test', error message connector couldn't establish connection '192.168.56.1'...

i'm not sure why dropping last couple digits of ip address... ideas how around/over this?

turns out problem user privileges on lamp server allowing connections 'localhost' (the guest vm), hence bouncing connection attempts 192.168.56.1... nothing virtualbox or odbc
