mysql client cant connect

[rhaggert]

ok, here is the deal
I log on to a machine running red hat 7.
i run the mysql client and try to connect to a mysql server which is running on a windows 2000 machine. now i try this

mysql -u ME -p -h THAT_MACHINE

and get

ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'ME@THE_SERVER_RUNNING_THE CLIENT.myschool.edu' (Using password: NO)

it seems to be saying that i cant connect for the user from the machine that i connect to. i tried a bunch of diffrent things.

another question. i can just give it -h and connect. is there a way while connected to the server with the client to say "hey be this user and here is the password"

thanks for any help
