problem connecting to linux mysql via MyODBC

problem connecting to linux mysql via MyODBC

Greetings.

I have a mysql database running on a Linux Debian box, and I need to
access the box from Excel on Windows.  I've installed MyODBC 3.51 on the
Windows computer, and I've created a mysql user on the linux box with:

grant all on *.* to "odbcuser" identified by "shipping"

But when I try to use the ODBC Data Source Administrator to add a new
user DSN, I can't successfully make a connection.

What am I doing wrong?  (I set this up a year or so ago, but for the
life of me, I can't remember what worked  :-(  )

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kenn
