Some ODBC applications display a logon dialog box when you are connecting to a data source. In these cases, the data source name has already been specified.
In this dialog box, perform the following steps:
1. In the Host Name field, type either the name or the IP address of the server to which you want to connect. The IP address must be in IPv4 format.
2. In the Port Number field, type the port number of the server listener. The default is 3306.
3. In the Database Name field, type the name of the database to which you want to connect.
4. If required, type your user name as specified on the MySQL server.
5. If required, type your password.
6. Click OK to complete the logon and to update these values in the Registry.
