Connect to MySQL Database on Local Network

I actually thought I could do this until I tried. I installed MySQL server on one PC in the Local network IP Address (192.168.1.4) and now I am trying to access it from another PC in the same network (192.168.1.5) but I am unable:

C:\Users\DOMICO>mysql -u domico -h 192.168.1.4 -p
Enter password: **********
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'domico'@'DOMICO-PC' (using password:
 YES)

Surprisingly DOMICO-PC is the PC I am trying to connect from. Why is it not connecting to the given host but trying to connect to Local machine?

For all users and all host. 

mysql -u root -p

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES
ON *.*
TO '%'@'%'
IDENTIFIED BY 'password'
WITH GRANT OPTION;

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

You need to give permissions to connect from remotehost

mysql>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database.* TO 'username'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION;

You need to have proper permissions to connect. In the computer that has the DB installed, give your user the proper permissions:

mysql>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'domico'@'DOMICO-PC';
mysql>FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

This is connecting to the intended host as you require it to. t is just stating who is connecting. and where from.

USER@DOMAIN

user : your user running the mysql command domain : name of the system you are connecting from.

Log into mysql via the server using -u root, ensure the user 'domico' is created and has sufficient access.
