I read that flushing privileges is only neccessary if you use insert instead of grant: "The reason for using FLUSH PRIVILEGES when you create accounts with INSERT is to tell the server to re-read the grant tables. Otherwise, the changes will go unnoticed until you restart the server. With GRANT, FLUSH PRIVILEGES is unnecessary." Quote from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Adding_users.html

You can specify the hostname or IP address that is allowed access in place of localhost in this command. So, if you want to be able to connect from a host named ‘workstation’ (10.100.15.2), use one of these:

grant all on accounts.* to jsmith@workstation identified by ‘Secret15′;
grant all on accounts.* to jsmith@10.100.15.2 identified by ‘Secret15′;

A dubious alternative, one with serious security consequences (you’ve been warned) is to allow access to jsmith from anywhere:

grant all on accounts.* to jsmith@% identified by ‘Secret15′;

In this context, the % symbol is a wildcard permitting access from any host. An important note – from my experience, it is necessary to create the localhost access control in addition to a specific host or global access control. If you do not, connections from localhost may not function properly.

Don’t forget to “flush privileges” afterwards.
