title: mysql appends my domain to my username
body: <p>I'm trying to access a mysql server remotely, I have all the login details but whenever I try to connect, it always adds my current IP or domain to the username, thus preventing me to login.  Furthermore, I don't have terminal access to the server.</p>
  
  <p>From the command line I try something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mysql -h example.com -u the_username -p
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It returns with the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'the_username'@'my_isp_address.com'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>trying:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mysql -h example.com -u the_username@example.com -p
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>doesn't make a difference, it just returns:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'the_username@example.com'@'my_isp_address.com'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I get through this?</p>
