I have a MySQL server which is tied to localhost. I would like to change it to an ip address, for example 192.168.x.x . I tried using the administrator from MySQL toolbench, but i am unable to find any option to configure it.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
-----------Edited-----------------
I have tried added the bind address in my.ini file
[mysqld]
# The TCP/IP Port the MySQL Server will listen on
port=3306
bind-address = 192.168.x.x
I am able to ping the ip, and when i do a telnet the response is 5.1.46 community and some gibberish characters.
And i am still unable to connect to MySQL via my ip. Thanks...

192.168.x.x
. Why bother hiding the IP address anyway?? It's not like we can hack you on192.168.0.1
- we'd have better luck breaking into127.0.0.1
