Connect from Mac Rails app to MySQL running on Windows 7 machine?

1

I'm trying to connect my rails app running on my Mac to MySQL running on my Windows 7 machine. They are both on the same network at my house, and I can ping my Windows machine from my Mac.

Trying to execute rake db:create I get this error:

Host 'MACMINI-459400' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
Couldn't create database for {"adapter"=>"mysql2", "encoding"=>"utf8", "reconnect"=>false, "database"=>"MySite_development", "pool"=>5, "username"=>"root", "password"=>"password", "host"=>"10.0.0.33"}, charset: utf8, collation: utf8_unicode_ci
(if you set the charset manually, make sure you have a matching collation)

This is my current database.yml contents

development:
  adapter: mysql2
  encoding: utf8
  reconnect: false
  database: MySite_development
  pool: 5
  username: root
  password: password
  host: 10.0.0.33

I've tried turning off Windows firewall but didn't work. How can I get these two to connect?

You can probably try running the following SQL on your windows machine first

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'@'%'
