mysql changes the IP when connecting

Question

could you please help me

I exec

mysql -h 192.168.100.16

And get such response

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'user'@'192.168.100.171' (using password: NO)

As you can see there is different ip in response. Why is this happening? I can ping both of the ips and there are no problems with this.

Answer 1

You are connecting to 192.168.100.16, and the server is rejecting the connection from 192.168.100.171. The solution is to configure the server to allow connections from that IP address, for that user, with no password. (Or connect from another IP address, use a different user name, or specify a password.)
